What do our readers think of Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the silly humour, bright comic-style pictures and the friendship between Narwhal and Jelly. They especially like the fun facts and the narwhal song, which make the book feel playful as well as informative.

What does the Pageticker team say about Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea!?

We love the cheerful energy of this underwater graphic novel, where Narwhal’s enthusiasm and Jelly’s practical nature make a brilliantly mismatched friendship. The three short stories are easy to dip into and combine visual storytelling, gentle humour, imagination and simple facts about sea creatures. It is especially well suited to early readers and children who enjoy comics; expect a very light, playful read rather than a complex plot.
