8 year old: “I like its jokes because its jokes are really funny. Well not just the jokes, but I like comics a lot, which is why I like it.”

6 year old: “You know what I like, same thing, for the same reason.”

A cute whimsical silly modern kids’ comic about a narwhal and a jellyfish, with random non sequiturs that delight my kids. Written in language easy enough to read for a kindergartner, but still engaging for a third grader. When I hear them giggling uncontrollably from the other room, I can guess what they are reading.

The simple illustrations are compelling and accessible, drawing kids into a series of books that will leave them giggling.

When the world’s most outgoing Narwhal meets the deadpan Jelly Fish a deep-sea best friendship is born. With their loopy dialogue, goofy logic, and slapstick physical comedy, all presented in comic book-style frames, Narwhal and Jelly are a classic comedy duo capable of cracking up humans of all sizes. This first book in the Narwhal and Jelly series features two wacky stories followed by breaks for funny facts about Narwhals and Jelly Fish and the official Narwhal song and winds up with an extra-clever story in which the wet besties create their own book within the book.
