When Narwhal's tusk accidentally bursts Jelly's bubble, Jelly is sad. Narwhal, being a good friend takes Jelly around the ocean to show him all the other bubbles they can find. This is a very simple graphic novel style, board book. My 3 year old grandson loved the bubbles, the 5 year old loved the characters and the 7 year old loved that he could read this to his siblings. I was surprised to see all the different kinds of bubbles that Narwhal and Jelly discover in the ocean. It is a cute book with puns and humour. The illustrations are wonderful and certainly grab the eye. I have not read A Narwhal and Jelly book before, but understand that I need to check out the ones for older children for my oldest grandchild.

Jelly shows Narwhal a great thing he found- a bubble!, Unfortunately, Narwhal accidentally pops the bubble with his tusk, making Jelly sad. Narwhal shows Jelly all the interesting bubbles to be found in the ocean, and soon Jelly is in good spirits again. The text is partially rhyme-y and full of puns, and the illustrations, as always, are delightful!

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It will be released February 2, 2021, by Penguin Random House Canada.

Being a fan of Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea, Super Narwhal and Jelly and the rest of the series, I'm super delighted to discover that the incredi-bubble Narwhal and Jelly are now available in a format for younger readers!

Like the previous stories, this board book is full of puns and equal amounts of joy and and hilarity.

Through Narwhal and Jelly's adventure, we are reminded that while we might end up with a burst bubble, it's no trouble, because the sea is full of bubbles! They come in unbelieva-bubble colours, sizes, shapes and smells.

While the book isn't a rhyming text, there is one section that is pure delight.

My oldest grandkids have started 'reading' the graphic versions of Narwhal and Jelly, but I'm pretty sure they will enjoy reading this with their younger siblings.

This is another great addition to the Narwhal and Jelllyfish series, this one is geared to early readers (pre-Kindergarten). This is a great buddy series if you have not already checked it out. Right up there with Elephant and Piggy but the length is far more suitable for young readers.

This book doesn’t carry its rhymes and cadence all the way through, but it does not matter. It is still a cute story for both fans and novices to Narwhal and Jelly.

I received an e-galley from Penguin Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review.

Bubbles bubbles bubbles. I was enraptured by all the different kinds of bubbles that Narwhal and Jelly discover in this board book. It’s absolutely adorable and hilarious, which is expected from these two marine best friends created by Ben Clinton. I will definitely be buying this series of board books for all the babies and toddlers in my family and friends group!

I requested and received this book from Ben Clanton and Penguin Random House Canada through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a super cute book about BUBBLES. This would make a great gift for little ones with a bottle of bubbles. You could read this book and make and pop bubbles along with Narwhal and Jelly. I wish I had someone little enough in my life to gift this too.
