The illustration in this book is pure eye candy! The easy to read writing makes it perfect for beginner readers. Together, the comic style writing and illustration make the perfect combo to help encourage children to develop their love for reading because they won’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to order a copy for my niece, she is going to flip out over how cute Jelly and Narwhal are.

Another great edition of Narwhal and Jelly!
So cute and such a good message about friendships and how to celebrate them

Thanks to the publishers and netgalley for this ARC!

This was delightful, silly, and cutesy. I love the narwhal and jelly books and I absolutely loved the message of this one - don't forget to include your friends, even when you're showing them love! This one will be well-loved, I think!

This latest installment of a narwhal and jelly book is absolutely adorable! They are celebrating PALintines day and showing love and appreciation for one another. There are other pals that are celebrating as well! And great education on animals that are pals.

My 3 year old loves the book! Though with “see you later alligator” he wanted to see an alligator so bad! :)
And he loved the “fighting” images and sharks. So so cute!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A Waffle Lot of Love is an amazing addition to the Narwhal and Jelly series! Narwhal expresses his love for his friendship with Jelly, but Jelly is left feeling left out while Narwhal continually disappears to make gifts and surprises for Jelly. In the end the two realize that doing things together is far better. A must have in all children's graphic novel collections!

This was a cute book about "palentines day". A great day to celebrate friends. This was my first Narwhal and Jelly book.
The book is written in comic book style making it easy and fun to read for young readers. The book was very silly, with lots of rhyming and waffles. My son and I enjoyed reading this together and we laughed at some of Narwhal's silly antics and the insane amount of waffles.


Thank you NetGalley and the author for this e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My son and I have all of these books and adore them. My son was so excited when I told him we had an early ARC, and he got to read this before it was released! Thank you so much, Tundra books!

I assume you have read several other books in the series since this is book 10. It does have a lot of callbacks to their previous adventures. You can expect the same silliness, rhyming, and waffles as the other stories. This one is about their friendship and celebrating Valentine’s Day! It was truly adorable. Oh my goodness, this one is full of so many waffles! Haha. I loved the rhyming and the cute little catchphrases. My son was laughing out loud at all the phrases and silliness that Narwhal got up to. If your kids enjoyed the previous books in this series, they will like this one!

Thank you, Tundra Books, for the e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own!

I didn’t think Ben Clanton could possibly top himself, but then I read A Waffle Lot of Love!

This might be the sweetest Narwhal and Jelly Book yet. When Jelly gives Narwhal a card for Palentine’s Day, Narwhal’s lovable and highly distractible - ooh! look over there! Something shiny!

Wait. What was I saying?

Oh. Right.

Narwhal darts from one idea to the next, eagerly finding ways to show how much they care for Jelly.

I highly recommend this delightful entry in the Narwhal and Jelly series.

My six-year-old son LOVED this book. I've never heard him laugh so much while reading together. In the book, Narwhal and Jelly navigate friendship and how they each think about it. When Narwhal realizes that it's Palentines day he wants to go all out and show Jelly how much their friendship means to him. He makes a card, brings loads of waffles (of course!), and does some pretty grand gestures--but all Jelly really wants is to spend time together. This has all of the classics of the previous books in the series: humor, big ideas/topics, cool facts, a comic episode, and the loveable characters we've gotten to know. This is one of our favorite books yet and we'll definitely be buying it in hard copy when it comes out. Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. Five stars and beyond!

I will always adore Narwhal and Jelly, so when Book #10 popped up in Netgalley I couldn't resist reading! This book includes endearing messages of friendship, and shows Narwhal trying too hard to be the best friend he can be. It will be a welcome addition to the series!

We are big Narwhal and Jelly fans over here, so my girls and I were thrilled to get the ARC of their newest adventure from NetGalley.

In this installment, Narwhal and Jelly are celebrating PALentine’s Day. Jelly is ready to go on an adventure with Narwhal, but Narwhal wants to show his appreciation of Jelly through material objects first. As always, the illustrations and antics are amazing and hilarious. My kids couldn’t stop giggling and requested a re-read immediately after finishing the story. As an adult, I appreciate the real-life sea creature information as well as the emphasis that quality time is more important than material gifts. We will be purchasing this once it’s released at the end of the year.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Tundra Books for an advanced copy of this book.

Thank you Penguin Random House Canada for this ARC!

My kiddo really enjoyed this story, unfortunately it was not my favorite Narwhal and Jelly book. It’s basically a book of call backs to other adventures. It felt chaotic and overwhelming to me at some points and Jelly spends most of the book feeling bad. Overall though if your kids like Narwhal and Jelly then they’ll most likely enjoy this as well

My kids loved this book. There were a lot of laughs and it was a really sweet story. The friendship between Narwhal and Jelly was fun to read about.

I have been reading the Narwhal and Jelly series with my children and students since they came out. I have loved them all and this was no exception.

I chose to read this to my 7 year old at bedtime and he was CACKLING. The humor was right at his level and the puns were punning. I'm pretty sure he asked me, "Get it...?" after every page. This was a joyful experience.

I imagine I'd have similar results if I read this to a classroom of students. It would be a great way to teach puns/word play and context clues to my multilingual students. It was also a really great story to teach kids about the value of presence over presents. I can see this being a part of SEL lessons.

I asked my son how many stars he would give this out of five. His response was, "Fifty hundred."

I agree.

Narwhal and Jelly—gotta love them!
Ben Clanton does a wonderful job bringing these characters to life with a fun, upbeat attitude. I especially love the little facts about other sea creatures sprinkled throughout. And the illustrations? So cute, fun, and totally engaging! If you haven’t read a Narwhal and Jelly book yet, I highly recommend checking them out with your kiddos.

** Thank you NetGalley, Tundra Book Group, and Ben Clanton for an eARC copy of A Waffle Lot of Love!.

A Waffle Lot of Love, by Ben Clanton, is number 10 in the Narwhal and Jelly series and is just what I love to see! Narwhal and Jelly show how to be good friends and model kindness, sharing, and support. They also eat a lot of waffles along the way! These books are great for young readers and a joy for adults to enjoy as well! My son and I giggle together as he reads me the books in this series! The pictures are great, and we live the addition of scientific facts that are included!

C U T E! The kids love Narwhal and Jelly (they are constantly checked out at my library) and this one will be no different. The art and word play is fun, as always, and even though I as a grown up don't love the superhero comic interlude in these books, I love the rest. I also share Narwhal's passion for waffles. A definite crowd-pleaser of a tenth book and an easy recommend.

My 7 1/2.year old led the way in leading this one, and was cackling for most of the book. We're big Narwal and Jelly fans in this house, and their newest story doesn't disappoint! It will be a super fun addition to your Valentine's Day book repertoire if there's a kid in your life!

Consulted my 2nd grader for this one. 5 stars from both of us. In this delightful 10th book of the series, Narwhal’s Palentine’s Day takes readers on a hilarious journey with best buds Narwhal and Jelly. Narwhal’s over-the-top attempts to celebrate PALentine’s Day with extravagant gifts for Jelly go a little too far—waffles, songs, and more waffles! Jelly, while grateful, just wants Narwhal’s time and presence instead of all the grand gestures.

This heartwarming story captures the true spirit of friendship in the most charming, funny way. With bonus fun facts and the perfect balance of humor and heart, this book is a must-read for fans of Narwhal and Jelly.

Way cute! I love the illustrations. I think the way this mixes random-ness with facts and fun makes so much sense for the age group.
