Ok so I LOVED this series as a kid and was so excited to hear that there was new book out! It was a little chaotic and hard to fallow at times but the ending wasent forced or rushed!

As the parent of two neurodiverse kids, this book make me laugh a lot! The distraction of Narwhal as Jelly tried to go on an adventure was so relatable! The artwork was familiar and fun and the story was silly. Another great chapter in the series!

Narwhal and Jelly are at their best in this installment of the series! As they celebrate Pal-entine’s Day, Narwhal goes a bit “overboard” to make Jelly feel special. A wonderfully silly and adventurous duo who you can’t help but but want to follow.

This is a fun new graphic novel series for young elementary school students. I'm sure it will find an enthusiastic audience with new readers.

I enjoyed reading this with my six year old son! These books are perfect for early readers. This one focuses on Narwhal trying to do things for Jelly to show him how loved he is, when all Jelly really wants is to spend time with him. It was very sweet.

My 6 year old loves listening to Narwhal books on Yoto cards. He loved this one - it’s all the usual charm of Narwhal and Jelly plus lots of waffles! We are looking forward to adding this to our library.

We love the Narwhal books in our house and this one did not disappoint. My 6 year old was cracking up about all the waffles. 🤭

Our household loves the "Narwal and Jelly" series! These stories are suitable for all ages; adult readers can enjoy them just as much as younger readers/listeners because there is always a positive lesson to be learned. In "A Waffle Lot of Love," it's the tenth adventure for the dynamic duo, but each story reads like the first. Narwal learns from Jelly that it's "Palentine's Day, and he spends the rest of the day coming up with ways to show Jelly how much he means to him. Narwal thinks up humorous phrases for Jelly (sure to get a giggle and repeat from younger readers), and together they teach each other what it means to be a good "pal," on this day and every day.
"A Waffle Lot of Love" follows the same format as the previous books, which is great because it includes a little bit of everything: story, animal facts, comic book superheroes, colorful illustrations, and lots of waffles! This book would make the perfect addition to a Valentine's basket/any holiday gift, a gift for your favorite pal, or purchased any time for your home library because you can't get enough of Narwal and Jelly!
Thanks to NetGalley, Tundra Books, and Ben Clanton for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Yay Narwhal and Jelly! Every single one of these novels is an absolute delight, and a great way to introduce younger children to reading and graphic novels. They're short, fun, and waffley sweet.
A Waffle Lot of Love is the tenth installment in the Narwhal and Jelly series. They're best friends, and Palentine’s Day is the PERFECT day to celebrate. So when Jelly gives Narwhal a card to celebrate, things quickly spiral out of control (in Narwhal fashion). Kids will learn the real meaning of friendship, and have a fantastic time.
As always there are some great creature facts included!
My household LOVES Narwhal and Jelly books. The illustrations are adorable, the puns are endless, and Narwhal & Jelly are a great example of how friendships should be. They work through problems together, and while they may not always agree, they always find ways to communicate and compromise.
I highly recommend this book (and the whole series) to families with younger kids. My 5 and 3 year olds were giggling through the entire book! It's one of our go-to series that we've been reading since before they could both walk. And if you're already a fan, you'll be absolutely delighted by A Waffle Lot of Love.

My family LOVES Narwhal and Jelly, and this newest edition is no exception. A Waffle Lot of Love has the same humor, heart, beautiful illustrations, and sweet story lines that we have come to expect from our favorite marine duo. With a focus on love and friendship, A Waffle Lot of Love would make a great gift for anyone.
Thank you to Tundra Book Group for gifting me with an ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

Another great installment of Narwhal and Jelly! My 6 year old loves these characters and their antics. A Waffle of Love is a great story about what really matters in a friendship. The dialogue and “good bye” colloquialisms were very funny!
Narwhal and Jelly are great for early readers.

Narwhal and Jelly can do no wrong! Narwhal is excited to shower Jelly in waffles to show love, but Jelly just wants some time with Narwhal. The friends learn to ask for what they need in this sweet Graphic Novel Reader. Full of informative facts for the reader, this is a highly engaging story. Ben Clanton sure knows his readers!

You can't ever go wrong with Clanton's Narwhal and Jelly series! The friends are back for a pal-entines day of friendship and puns. Narwhal wants to make and give Jelly things to celebrate their friendship while Jelly just wants to spend time with his friend. A great jumping point to talk about differences in friendships and love languages. While some spots in the book feel a little too forced and like filler, it is still another wonderful addition to the fin-tastic series that readers can't get enough of. Our school and home libraries will both be getting copies!

I want to say thank you to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for allowing my children and me the privilege of being able to read this book. I really appreciate it!
My boys (8 and 10) have actually never read the Narwal and Jelly series before, despite seeing the other books many times before in the store. But after today it was very obvious that they've got a new obsession! I had my boys trade off on reading different pages of this book well we all sat together. They thought this was a laugh riot and give it a thousand thumbs up!
This series is most definitely up the alley of grades 1 to 6 in Canada. Despite the age rating, I know kids of all ages will love the silliness and fun inside this book! There are a handful of larger words in this book that might take younger kids a minute to sound out, but between this and the good clean fun it's also great for older kids who will want a quick, comfy, silly read. Even I really enjoyed it! This was easy for them both to read, some of the jokes (adults you'll get a chuckle too I promise) took them a minute to get but when they got them the laughter was contagious. Honestly the laughter was almost non-stop except for the really sweet moments this books brings around! 'A Waffle Lot of Love' reminds me so much of the goodness and fun in the Pigeon series by Mo Willems and the Weenie Series by Maureen Fergus.
If you're looking for a very sweet short chapter book and/ or series that delivers on a great reading experience that draws your kids in and has clean fun and some silliness this book and this series I know will be it! It will also be fantastic for Valentine's Day as that's the theme it plays off but they call it Palentines day! My kids are now so excited to be able to read Narwal and Jellys previous adventures! Thank you so much for giving them a brand new series to love!
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with a snuggle time full of laughs, love and a new series and book were going to love together! I truly appreciate it!

I love all the Narwhal and Jelly books and this one was another fun addition to the series! It's Palentine's Day and while Narwhal goes overboard with ideas (as usual) they are cute and loveable as always!

This is a fun graphic novel for young readers! The characters are fun. There are facts mixed in to the story that go along with the adventure.

This is another great installment in the series. Would be a perfect Valentines gift for a child preschool to first grade.

It’s my first Narwhal and Jelly, so I cannot speak to how it compares. It’s cute. It speaks to allowing peace for friends even when you don’t get what they are doing, but loving them the same.
It’’s funny and encouraging!

Me and my son love this series — we’ve got several Narwhal and Jelly books in our home library already!
This one we read together, taking turns voice by voice (I was Narwhal — what a blast!). As always, it’s full of fun, waffles, and that sweet friend-ship (with a hyphen!) that makes these books so special.
Whaley wonderful!

As one would expect, this newest Narwhal and Jelly book is adorable. What a sweet, fun, entertaining pair!
