About this book
Narwhal is an easy-going sea creature who loves to hang out with his best friend Jelly, the sensible jellyfish. When Jelly learns that Narwhal has only ever eaten waffles, he persuades his friend to try a peanut butter cookie. Reluctant at first, Narwhal eventually agrees to take a nibble and is amazed by the awesome flavour sensations. He can’t get enough and becomes obsessive about his new favourite food, leading to some hilarious escapades!
This is the third book in the zany Narwhal and Jelly series of simple graphic novels for younger readers. Featuring three interconnected stories, entertaining facts about the eating habits of various underwater animals and a wacky superhero comic strip, it is bursting with offbeat humour. The witty text is complemented by blue and yellow comic-style illustrations, which are enhanced throughout by splashes of vibrant colour. Readers won’t be able to resist these quirky adventures, which have friendship, fun and imagination at their core.
