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.

This sequel to Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea is just as silly and fun as the first one. Jelly joins forces with Narwhal to figure out superpowers, find their way home, and bring overall cheer.

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!

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.

4 STARS

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

After reading the first book in this series and “meeting” Narwhal and Jelly, I knew any future books about these adorable little creatures were a must read for me. In this latest edition Narwhal has decided to come out and reveal his superhero self. Narwhal even convinces Jelly to join the fun as Narwhal’s trusty sidekick. Together they seek to discover what the Narwhal’s superpower is and even go on a few other mini adventures too.


Did I mention the cuteness of these two? I love the simplistic illustrations and the vivid colors. Our heroes have never looked more adorable. The author perfectly captures the heartwarming friendship between our little superhero duo and shows the reader the power of encouragement. Filled with good messages about friendship and believing in yourself and bringing out the best in others, you can’t help but want to share this book with all young readers.


Full of fun facts, silliness and waffles Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt is sure to delight readers of all ages…even grownups. I can’t wait for the next book and to see what adventures Narwhal and Jelly will be up to next. Until then, make sure to pick up your very own copy of Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt today, and join our little under the sea friends on their latest adventure.



Thank you to Tundra books and Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC in return for an honest review.

'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.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Tundra Books, Penguin Random House Canada, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel

Narwhal and his buddy Jelly are back for another super fun adventure (and waffles; let's not forget the waffles). In this outing, Narwhal is trying to find his super power while everyone around him has figured out theirs. Sure, Jelly has to overcome a bit of light teasing, but with Narwhal at his side, there's nothing Jelly Jolt can't overcome.

Clanton does a great job of bringing out the humor in Narwhal's desire to be a super hero complete with hero disguise. The illustrations are fun and colorful. The writing is crisp and precise while also being exciting enough to grab a wide variety of ages. For learning readers, this is another winner of a Narwhal and Jelly adventure, and hopefully just one of many more to come.

Oh, and the waffles. There's still some lovely waffle action along with a bit of strawberry thrown in for good measure. Clanton even includes a few fun sea critter super power facts to really spice up the narrative.

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**
