'Hilarious and charming' – Dav Pilkey, bestselling author of Dogman and Captain Underpants

The 5th hilarious and fabulously festive Christmas adventure from everyone's favourite characters – Narwhal and Jelly!

It’s Christmas in the world wide waters! Narwhal is spreading his trademark good cheer and warm waffles, but also news of the amazing Merry Mermicorn, part mermaid, part unicorn. Jelly isn't feeling the festive spirit – or excitement about the mermicorn – quite as much until he receives a mysterious present … But who is it from?

A wonderfully silly early graphic novel series featuring three short stories and a super fun ocean fact page – and joke page too!

The perfect first book for young readers, just moving on from picture books, discovering the joys of friendship, working together and the power of imagination.

PRAISE FOR Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea:

'Undersea adventures have never been so darn cute …. The incessant charm and unabashed joy should make this an easy sell. Swimmingly delightful and a guaranteed smile-maker' – Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

'An utterly enchanting start to a series that’s bound to be popular among young readers' - Starred Review, School Library Journal

'Geez, Narwhal and Jellyfish are adorable. There’s no other word as appropriate for this duo& readers will likely clamour for the next outing' – Starred Review, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

'Bantering dialogue entertains throughout, but the book’s best moment might belong to the third story, when Narwhal lends Jelly his “favourite book in the whole wide water, which is blank…“. "It’s an imagination book, Jelly!… Narwhal explains. Readers ready for underwater goofiness of the non-SpongeBob variety will be eager for more adventures from this duo' – Publishers Weekly

Ben Clanton is the author/illustrator of the NARWHAL AND JELLY early graphic novel series as well as IT CAME IN THE MAIL, VOTE FOR ME!, and REX WRECKS IT. When Ben isn't doodling up stories (and often when he is) he likes to cook, explore outdoors, and play basketball. Ben lives in Tacoma, WA with his wife, son and goldendoodle pup.

Granddaughter loved it.

We bought this book for our 8 year-old granddaughter on 10/30 and she already has it read. She throughly enjoyed it.

We love this series!

Filled with humor, lovable characters, and fun facts about sea life, my son and I could not love this series more! The exuberant Narwhal shares his excitement for the holidays with his best buddy Jelly by informing him of the Merry Mermicorn who spreads cheer each Christmas. The graphic novel format with large panels and comical dialogue draw the reader into this amusing tale.

Such a great series!

I'm a dad and I read Narwhal & Jelly to my daughter. Who owns all the books along with a poster. She absolutely loves them! And I really enjoy reading them to her. It's a unique series and as long as the stories continue, we will continue being fans!

Fun, Puns, and the Holidays

This is my first time reading any tales of Narwhal and Jelly, and I found the stories both sweet and funny. Puns certainly abound, which is always fun in a children's book. The illustrations are simple, yet the illustrator is able to get across some very lovely expressions on the sea creatures’ faces. The two main characters are waiting for the Mermicorn (half unicorn, half mermaid) to show up. Jelly doesn't believe in it while Narwhal does. We see some different winter holiday traditions of some sea creatures, like lighting the minnow-rah with bioluminescence. Jelly believes that Narwhal has given him a nice gift, and much of the book is Jelly looking for the perfect gift for Narwhal. The author scatters information about the sea and sea creatures throughout the book. The creature who gave Jelly his gift is a surprise at the end. One fun thing I enjoyed is that it included two Christmas carols that had been changed to reflect the sea environment. Fun book. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Narwhal and Jelly are celebrating the holidays!

'Happy Narwhalidays' by Ben Clanton is the 5th book in the Narwhal and Jelly series. The holidays have come to the undersea world. There are narwhaliday carols and snow (!) and warm waffle pudding. The culmination of the event is the arrival of the Merry Mermicorn, but first Jelly has to find the perfect gift. This series is always a must read for me when a new volume comes along. I always wonder how the creativity is going to go, and Ben Clanton always brings his A game. I received a review copy of this ebook from Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Festive and Adorable!

This book is wonderfully festive and adorable. I enjoyed the short graphic novel narratives, and it brought great joy to my curmudgeonly heart to see an illustration of a shark wearing a Santa hat. This is fun for kids and adults who enjoy this series, and can also be a fun introduction for people who aren't familiar with the previous books, but think that a Christmas book about narwhals would be a lot of fun. It is!

Another hit from Narwhal and Jelly!

I adore Narwhal and Jelly! This book is perfect for the coming holiday season. Its fairly open ended in terms of any actual holiday celebrated but it touches on several traditions. Best of all, it highlights the spirit of giving and being together with loved ones. Can't wait to share this with my littles.

Absolutely adorable and hilarious

Thank you Penguin Random House and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review. My daughter and I are huge Narwhal and Jelly fans and this holiday book was soooo much fun. I loved the mermicorn and the music. I loved the friendship, of course, and the puns were on spot.

Another Narwhal winner!

Narwhal and Jelly are the cutest, and this holiday-themed entry into the series is as cute as ever! Another winner from Ben Clanton!

Lovely

My daughter really enjoys this series - its funny and the illustrations are lovely.

Jingle shells, jingle shells

Another wonderful addition to our Narwhal and Jelly collection

It's Narwhal and Jelly, what more do you need to know?

If I'm honest, every Ben Clanton book I buy is actually for me, even if I pretend it's for my kids. I adore Narwhal and Jelly and so do my preschool and school-aged kids. I pre-ordered this and I'm glad I did. I'm sure reading it at Christmas time will be tradition by next year.

Otterly hilarious

Our 3yo son finds these books hilarious and enjoyed this one as much as the other in the series we have to the point of gasping for breath through laughter. I love a good pun, so I'm thrilled to be instilling this flavour of humour at such a young age!

It's exactly as expected.

It's exactly what it's supposed to be & in perfect condition, my grandaughter will love it .

Wicked stocking stuffer

The Narwal and Jelly books are some of our household favs. I was super excited to discover a holiday one this year to put into my boy’a stocking. I could wait to read it with my son, I went ahead and read it early, it was awesome, as expected.
