What does the Pageticker team say about Peanut Butter and Jelly?

Ben Clanton’s third Narwhal and Jelly adventure is a cheerful, wonderfully daft graphic novel about food, friendship and being yourself. Narwhal’s peanut-butter obsession provides plenty of laughs, while Jelly’s sensible support keeps the silliness anchored. A lovely choice for children beginning to read independently, especially fans of playful pictures and short, funny stories.
