We have been huge fans of the dynamic duo since the beginning and we always pre-order these books because we just can’t wait! Children can sometimes have a hard time sharing their friends and understanding that it’s ok to have more then one really good friend. We love that this book gives children an opportunity to see some of their favorite characters dealing with the same issue. We love the adventurous spirit of new character, Otty the Otter. After reading my five year old said, I’m an explorer like Otty! We also learned a lot of new facts about otters and a few about jellyfish that Jelly had to throw in of course! And as a bonus all the play on words really get us laughing! Read more

My kiddos love this book. One has already memorized it and are excited to add this to their collection of other Narwhal and Jelly books. Its cute and easy to read, the kids voice over each character and enjoy the facts page in these books. Its illustrated and written very cutely and its not too hard for both my kindergartener and 2nd grader. Read more

The writing for this series is amazing. Makes it fun for kids and adults to read. We have a 4 and 7 year old and they both love this series. The addition of the Otter was fun! The kids love all of the characters in these books. There are just enough words per page to keep them interested and the pictures are really engaging. Great buy! Great quality. Read more

I had originally started this series for my daughter who wasn't too interested in reading. This series was by far the best decision to get my daughter reading frequently. Now she is reading numerous stories and still going back to the Narwhal and Jelly serious for some good laughs. This is appropriate for my 6-year-old daughter, the stories are age-appropriate and the illustrations are absolutely adorable. This is a family favorite for us Read more

I was excited when this book came in the mail today! I was even more thrilled that my 4th grade class was cheering when our mail was delivered today because they knew it was coming. When I taught 2nd grade, we always celebrated the arrival of each Narwhal and Jelly book, but I wasn’t sure if my 4th graders this year would think they were too old to be excited for this book. Well, even though this is a book they could easily read, they loved it! We laughed throughout the book and had great discussions after we were done. It was a blast today! I love reading these books and watching children be so engaged with them. We even had a long conversation on the proper voice I should use for Otter, we’ll have to see if we can come to an agreement tomorrow. Ben Clanton doesn’t disappoint his fans with this book. It is everything we’ve come to expect from Narwhal and Jelly with fresh and important stories. These stories focus on new friendships, jealousy, and adventure. I always like the animal facts and mini comic that separate the three stories. I can’t recommend this series enough! Read more
