Publisher Description
“The most lovable duo since Frog and Toad.” —Dav Pilkey, bestselling creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants
The funny and adorable New York Times bestselling kids graphic novel series starring happy-go-lucky, waffle-loving Narwhal and somewhat cynical sidekick, Jelly.
In this hilarious 5th book, Narwhal and Jelly spread some holiday cheer (and warm waffle pudding). Includes bonus fun facts!
Dive into three new stories about Narwhal's favorite time of the year! It's the festive season in the world wide waters, and Narwhal is looking forward to cozying up with a good book, singing and partying with pod pals and enjoying some warm waffle pudding. But most of all Narwhal is excited about the arrival of the Merry Mermicorn! According to Narwhal, she's part mermaid, part unicorn and completely mer-aculous! Jelly is of course skeptical about the existence of the "Mira-Miny-What-A Corn" . . . even when he receives a mysterious present. It must be from Narwhal.
Now Jelly has to get the perfect gift, but finding a present for someone as unique as Narwhal is no easy feat, even when you have six tentacles. How will Jelly ever come up with a whaley great gift for a best pal who spreads cheer all through the year?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
His tusk-tooth and scarf both sporting red and white stripes, holiday-loving Narwhal is "feeling festive" in the fifth installment of the graphic novel series starring two earnest aquatic pals. Despite Narwhal's holiday enthusiasm, jellyfish Jelly has no interest in "the freezing season" and longs for warmer waters ("Humph-bug," he grumps). Narwhal cheers up Jelly ("a bit") with a bowl of warm waffle pudding, and a present with his name on it also boosts his spirits. But Jelly worries that he has nothing for Narwhal, who he assumes is the gift giver. Through spare mixed-media pictures and an energetic, wordplay-steeped narrative in six short sections, Clanton sorts out Jelly's conundrum and introduces a special holiday visitor, the Merry Mermicorn, a mermaid-unicorn hybrid who, Narwhal says, is "completely mer-aculous!" "Cool facts" about marine life are sprinkled throughout this buoyant tale. Ages 6 9.
