"Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea" by Ben Clanton
"This children's graphic novel, the first in a series, pairs happy-go-lucky Narwhal with best friend Jelly, a grumpy jellyfish. These opposites-attract friends share delightful adventures, an extreme love of waffles, and big imaginations. The graphic novel format is really fun and accessible for all reading levels. I've loved reading the whole series with my child on repeat!"
— Hannah, Main Library
