Whimsical and fun. The artwork draws kids in and the boundless optimism of an adorable narwhal certainly keeps you entertained

This is a really funny and cute children's title. The situations the characters get into is really funny. The artwork definitely appeals to kids.

The cuteness and silliness continue in the second Narwhal and Jelly book. This time each story revolves around the two becoming superheroes and what a hero really is. They solve a few problems and help a few friends out. We get a dose of Super Waffle and Strawberry Sidekick, a comic the two write plus a feature on sea creatures with real super powers. Lots of fun in this easy reader written in comic format. This series is a winner!

Another fun installment in the world of Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt. I"m so excited to read this series with my children one day!!

Narwhal is a wonderful character who will appeal to all ages. His relentless optimism is refreshing, and I love that he helps others and has fun doing it. Please write more Narwhal and Jelly books!!!!!

Such a wonderful graphic novel for younger readers. A good message and fun characters.

In this second Narwhal and Jelly book, Narwhal decides to become a superhero. Narwhal seems to have everything he needs to be a superhero - a cape, a secret identity and a loyal sidekick in Jelly, but what is his super power? In a series of stories, in which he helps a starfish become a star in the sky and helps a crab become a super crab, Narwhal and Jelly discover that just what Narwhal's superpower is - it's bringing out the super in others and what could be more super than that?
In between stories, there are some informative and some really silly vignettes. This is a pretty funny book for young readers, and mines really enjoyed it. They can't wait for the next Narwhal and Jelly book (and I hope there will be one).
This book was received from NetGalley.

This was absolutely adorable. Narwhals are my favorite animal and when I saw this I absolutely had to read it.
The illustrations are so cute and the story so simple and sweet. I will definitely be picking up a copy for my nieces and nephews.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
This book is a super cute companion to Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea.
Both books are children's books that really emphasize friendship and teach you some cool facts about aquatic animals. This one specifically focuses on how the things that make you unique can be your superpowers, which is a really great concept.
I love both the art style and the bright colors used to create the pictures. I appreciated the pictures as an adult and feel that a child would appreciate the simplicity as well.
Because of the great messages and design of this book, I'd recommend it as a quick, cute, fun book for kids. The perfect bedtime read!

This was a super cute and fun read. Super Narwhal's super power was a pleasant surprise and a fitting one for his personality.

I find this series incredibly appealing, in the vein of Adventures in Cartooning or Elephant and Piggie. Its not particularly refined or complex. Its built on quirkiness and a sense of play, of joy in every moment, of believing anything is possible and finding every positive.

I love this book! I fell in love with these two in the first book and I still love them, maybe even more, in the second book. I recommended these to my library and when the first one came in my son devoured it. He is a reluctant reader so the fact that he loved it just shows how great it is! After reading the first book, he asked me to buy it and this new one. It came in today and he has already read it twice. These books are amazing. They are funny (I laughed out loud). They are educational (I learned new facts in these), and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I really really love these book and I am so excited for more books with Narwhal and Jelly.

Just as good as the first installment! I just love always-happy Narwhal and sometimes-emotional Jelly! In this installment, Narwhal decides to be a super hero (Super Narwhal!) and of course Jelly has to be his sidekick (Jelly Jolt!) They remain superheroes throughout the book: the first story introduces their new superhero personas, in the second story Narwhal uses his super powers to help out a starfish, and in the third Narwhal both helps Jelly overcome being upset, and bestows super powers on Crab too! While this had many amazing moments (Narwhal's choice of secret identity name! haha!), the third story was definitely my favorite as Narwhal comes up with the most ridiculous reasons why Jelly might be sad, and by so doing cheers him up! That's what best friends are for <3

'Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt' by Ben Clanton continues the adventures of Narwhal and his friend Jelly. I loved the first volume and this one as well.
This time around Narwhal wants to be a superhero. Jelly points out that narwhals don't really have a superpowers, but Narwhal is undeterred. He will figure it out as he goes along. We learn about some of the superpowers that sea creatures have like stingers and sonar and being loud. Narwhal eventually finds his superpower and it's a very heartwarming one.
I love these graphic novels for young readers. These would be great to read aloud to pre-readers. Its such a fun series and it makes me smile.

My kids love Narwhal and Jelly. They were super excited to get a sneak peak at the next adventure.

Narwhal and Jelly are back for new adventures. This time Narwhal wants to be a superhero with Jelly as his sidekick. But what is Narwhal's superpower?
I loved the puns in this book. I found myself laughing out loud while reading. **Thank you NetGalley for advanced reading copy**
Review posted on Goodreads

I love this series. It is absolutely adorable and fun. There is a mini moral to the story and a very thin plot, which is fine since this is probably for very young children.
The pictures are bold and simple enough not to be too distracting to young readers.
There is a few educational pages relating sea animals to super powers (Did you know crabs could regrow their claws??) as well as a side story involving Super Waffle and Strawberry sidekick, which is cute.
I really want waffles now!
I recommend this book to young reluctant readers perhaps starting from 2nd grade. There are some big words, so perhaps even older.

Narwhal and Jelly are back for more adventures. This time, it's superhero-themed stories. Narwhal is looking to become a superhero and is trying to figure out super abilities. Super cute art as usual, early readers will appreciate the simple stories similar to Mo Willems. The duo is fun to read.

These characters always put a smile on my face. The silly, easy to read stories, are complimented by the simple yet eye catching illustrations, which allow this book to appeal to a wide audience. I love the positive messages that the stories provide . In this latest adventure we learn that everyone has super powers,. So,etimesmis just takes som,e time to discover exactly what they may be.
