If you have the series, buy this book! If you don’t have the series, buy the series and this book! They just keep coming and the students love them!

Narwhalicorn and Jelly continue to show children how friendship works, one little lesson at a time. I love the simplicity of the illustrations and the colors. Such a huge favorite with the little ones.

Thank you for this ARC. Narwhal and Jelly have become some of my kid’s favorite books! Great book for all ages, both boys and girls. Can’t wait to read the next one!

This seventh installment of Narwhalicorn and Jelly brings delight to fans of the Ben Clanton series. Through bright and colourful illustrations, the reader is able to follow the incredible adventure of two friends - a narwhal and jellyfish - exploring the world, learning about differences in others, and what being a true friend means. There is an emphasis on individuality while bringing laughter to the reader. My 9 year old still loves reading these stories - they never stop bringing a sense of comfort to us.

Narwhalicorn and Jelly are extremely relatable and charm the reader with their playful relationship. It allows the reader the opportunity to truly explore their creativity and captivate their audience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for providing me with this ARC in exchange for a truthful review.

Sweet and charming.
It's one of those things I could read for as long as the author puts out new pieces. I don't think I will ever tire of it.

The artwork is silly, yet engaging. I love the drama of the overemphasized expressions and emotions. It's great!

I only wish the the emotional beat at the end hit me more personally, but the message is good

The seventh book of the already sensational Narwhal and Jelly series is the best so far! With the creation of each book comes magnificent new adventures for Narwhal and Jelly. Highly anticipated by many young readers, Narwhalicorn and Jelly does not disappoint. This is the perfect book for introducing young readers to the excitement of reading. Another spectacular book by Ben Clanton!

Ben Clanton does it again! Narwhal and Jelly books are a hit at our library and this one does not disappoint. Funny, unique, and attention-keeping, this series is great for reluctant readers who need a laugh! We will most certainly carry this and any future N&J books.

“It’s always a good time for an adventure, and an adventure is always a good time!”

Narwhal and Jelly are back for their latest adventure, which has them shooting for the stars - literally! Narwhal dreams to be a unicorn! They wish upon a star and arrive on the Unicorn Planet, where everyone is a unicorn. But is it too much to take it?

As always, I adored this book. I love Narwhal and Jelly, and I really liked this book. Sometimes, I don’t think introverts get enough attention in books, and when we do get attention, it’s all “oh lookit that party pooper, get it together, you anti-social weirdo.” But in this adventure, Jelly expresses that they’ve had too much and wish to go home.
And Narwhal comes home to check on their buddy and make sure they’re ok!
Because sometimes, it’s just too much! And sometimes, friends don’t listen or understand that their little introverted buddies need to recharge.

This is a great book. I love it!

Also, have I never noticed that Narwhal uses they/them pronouns? I love that so much. It’s not a huge deal, barely even there. But yet. It is. And I noticed and It makes me feels things :)

Very cute, funny children's book. Would be great to use for a story time because it doesn't have too many words on a page, which makes it easier for kids to pay attention for the duration of the story. It is also fun and silly and a great book for all ages. I will be recommending this for our library.

Narwhal and Jelly are the cutest of underwater friends. In this book, the pair goes on an adventure to find other unicorns, like Narwhal! Through their adventures, they discover that listening to each other is very important, and differences make everyone special. This is a delightful, and very funny, story. Throughout the book, facts are given about topics in the book- like animals that could be seen as unicorns! It's very interesting and adds an element of discovery to the story.

Absolutely loved this Narwhalicorn and Jelly book!!

This was a delightfully hilarious children book, with an important lesson of being accepting of your introverted friends.

I love this whole series, and it continues to be a magical and entertaining series.

Fun! Narwhals are the unicorns of the sea. Unicorns are the narwhals of the land. What other animals are real life unicorns aka have horns? Cute cartoon style seventh book in a series.

This book just like the other Narwhal and Jelly books was awesome! We loved everything about it, especially the real facts about unicorns! The illustrations and story line are great as always! I love that these books are super fun and silly but still have great messages in them to the kids. This one is a great example of remembering your friends and always caring for them no matter what happens! My kids will want to get this one and re-read it all the time!

5 UNICORN STARS!

My nine year old son (going on 13) still loves the series! He insisted I request this installment. He absolutely loved it, and giggled the whole way through! And as a parent, I love that he told me some true, interesting facts about these animals. That is the blessing here, that Ben writes stories for both audiences. As a testament to his enjoyment, my son ran out and bought this book at Barnes & Noble a week later! He insists on keeping the entire series on permanent display at home.
Thank you, Ben and thank you NG for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book! My son said, “10 out of 5 stars!”😂

**Thank you to Netgalley for a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

My son has loved the Narwhal and Jelly series since he was first introduced to reading and as a parent I have loved reading each and every volume together. The reading level is attainable without being too slow or dull, the illustrations are charming, and I found myself cracking up more than once. I absolutely adore this book.

I enjoyed this book and laughed out loud several times while reading. Kids that are obsessed with unicorns will love all the iterations - the "horseycorn" might be my favorite! I love this series' celebration of imagination, creativity, and whimsy. It's just pure fun.
Thank you to @netgalley for the eARC. This is a definite purchase for my library as this series is always in circulation.

My 9 1/2 year old is a big fan of the Narwhal and Jelly books and she was extra excited to see a Unicorn! Cute story, great illustrations. Another fun addition to the collection.

Narwhal and Jelly have such a sweet and fun friendship. When Jelly wonders why Narwhal is called the unicorn of the sea, narwhal wishes to be a unicorn but jelly isn't so sure about going on land.
What appeared to be another sweet adventure with a wonderful lesson on listening to friends turned into another children's series introducing narwhal with they/them pronouns and confusing lessons such "just because you don't have a horn doesn't mean you aren't a unicorn."
I was so excited to get this book because I had heard so many moms rave about the series but was greatly disappointed.

Narwhal and Jelly are a cute and very popular series for early comic readers. This whole series flies off the shelf at my library! This latest adventure is a fun one for our friends, as they go in search of a land narwhal -- a unicorn. As always, their odd couple friendship is front and center with a culminating message of listening to the needs of your friends.
