About this deal

Dive into three new stories about the joy of adventure and the power of friendship! In the first story, Otty the otter makes her debut splash; while Narwhal greets her with immediate enthusiasm, Jelly’s not so sure about her…mostly because he worries she’ll take his place as Narwhal’s best friend. Readers will easily see why Narwhal’s so excited to meet Otty, a boisterous explorer who even has an aunt who’s a real live sea captain! But readers will also relate to Jelly’s uneasiness seeing his best friend making a new pal. The witty comic-strip illustrations are simple, yet full of character, and are rendered using a predominantly blue and yellow palette, with occasional splashes of colour. From the second piece cut out the bottom part of Narwhal’s tail – this should look a bit like a heart shape. You can see all of the cut out pieces of Narwhal below to give you an idea what I mean! When we got these books I read the first book ( Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea) to both my kids as a bedtime story and then I discovered my son (8) reading Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt to my daughter who is 5. With a mixture of fun facts, nonsense stories and an eccentric narwhal song, this quirky chapter book is ideal for junior readers who enjoy something a bit different.

The last story features a sad Jelly. Narwhal takes it upon himself to cheer Jelly up but how should he proceed and will he be able to make Jelly happy again? When he meets a jellyfish, they both assume they are imagining one another as neither of them has come across such bizarre-looking animaL before. Nevertheless, they decide to become friends and embark on some awesome adventures together. These two are not unlike Frog and Toad or Heart and Brain or Snail and Worm: Three Stories About Two Friends. There's the impulsive, fun one and the logical, more down-to-earth (or down to ocean bottom, I suppose) one. One worries more and the other is spontaneous. It's a common friendship model, by now, but one that doesn't seem to get old. These books are perfect for kids – I know this because when I went to photograph them my two had hidden them in their ‘special place for books they don’t want touching’ and they’ve spent the weekend giggling along to Narwhal and Jelly’s adventures in the ocean complete with jokes, facts and a lot about waffles! Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt features the same adorable and irreverent artwork as its predecessor - and yes, there are waffles.

These books are the perfect length because they fit in educational and cute without crossing the line into too long and boring. These books really highlight the importance of friendship since Narwhal and Jelly have the cutest friendship ever. I think these are kind of perfect books for teaching kids about being friends…I mean Narwhal’s power is making other people super?! How cute. He brings out the best in people which is amazing. Start by cutting a piece from the bottom of your paper plate to make the main part of Jelly’s body and then paint this plate blue.
