I love adorable illustrations, so it's no surprise that I've followed Narwhal and Jelly in their adventures from the beginning. Clanton's drawings and humour continue to be a delight and I specially loved that this instalment included facts about otters and jellyfish. Narwhal's Otter Friend was a fun-tastic read with otterly charming characters. It's full of water-ful puns too!

The latest installment of Ben Clanton's insanely adorable easy reader series. Prepare for some fun ottertainment, and a little bit of someone being Jelly. If you and yours have enjoyed the previous books in the series, or are looking for a great and fun emergent reader series check this one out!

As always, Narwhal and Jelly deliver another funny (and punny!) book. This series is popular with students and this one will be hard to keep on the shelf too. I will be recommending this one to be added to our school library.

This is a sweet children’s book about jelly and narwhal. Jelly and narwhal meet otter and learn about otter’s adventures. Jelly feels left out but learns about the importance of new and old friends. I like the fun otter facts and the few jellyfish facts. I wish there were narwhal facts as well but this is fourth in the series.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher.

This is one of the cutest books I've ever read.
The artwork is absolutely precious!

A jellyfish and a narwhal are best friends but when Narwhal meets a super cool otter, Jelly becomes worried about the status of the friendship.

Narwhal and Jelly are the best! In this adventure, they meet and befriend Otter and have totally otterly adventures (in the end). Jelly is jealous (or should I say, jelly??) of Narwhal and Otter's newfound friendship, but of course Narwhal won't do anything without his best friend in the whole wide world! I think it is a great topic for kids to read about as it happens to all of us at one time or another in childhood. And as always, the pun game is strong in this one!

Narwhal and Jelly are back, and they've been joined by an explorer: Otter. Jelly finds themselves getting a bit jealous of Otter and the attention that Narwhal is giving them, so Jelly goes in search of a new friend. I enjoyed the otter facts, and the story line. The jokes were maybe laid on a bit too heavily, but it was still an enjoyable experience.

Cute book featuring Narwhal and his best friend Jelly. The friends meet an otter and they have trouble making the relationship of three friends work without jealousy creeping in. A cute educational story with nice graphics. Sure to be enjoyed by young children!

This is very much what fans of this series have come to expect. The book is chunked into a few bite sized sections, but really so much fun most readers will want to gulp it down. It is very cute. I loved the facts about otters and jellyfish, but the main part of the story is really when two close friends are joined by a third. Sometimes it is tricky to figure it all out and deal with the potential for jealousy (or maybe jellyfishusy). This is a great addition to the series.

Fun and silly, as all Narwhal and Jelly books should be! I think this series is a great way to get reluctant readers to read, as well as for reading together.

Thank you NetGalley for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Narwhal and Jelly are some of my favorite graphic novel characters, especially for newer readers. This installment of the Narwhal and Jelly doesn’t disappoint loyal fans. This time they are back and a new friend, Otter, enters the picture but not without some tension developing. Narwhal thinks Otter is great, and Jelly feels exactly the opposite and doesn’t believe Otters big stories of adventure. Jelly sets out to find a new friend.

Best quote that had me laughing out loud, “Egg tries to scramble out, but it’s too hard...”

I can’t wait to introduce new readers to this book and share it with Narwhal and Jelly fans.

Thank you to Tundra books and NetGalley for the advanced reading copy.

My daughter absolutely loved this book! We read it together. She is anxiously awaiting book number 5, to see what adventures Narwhal will go on next!

Narwhal and Jelly are so much fun and this newest adventure is just adorable. So filled with excellent puns and such cute shenanigans, they're just delightful!

Narwhal meets a new friend Otty who loves to explore. While Otty tells them about his awesome adventures Jelly begins to feel left out and decides he can make new friends too. He tries to make new friends and decides to make friends with a rock who he names Rocky. However, when he introduces Rocky to Narwhal and Otty they begin talking about their space adventure that they are preparing for but of course not without Jelly.

This is another cute story in the Narwhal and Jelly series and makes a very quick read which will be good for children being read to by their parents or for older kids looking for a fun quick graphic novel. Overall a very fun story for kids of all ages to read.

As always these stories are a joy to read. They are the perfect length and format to bridge the picture book to chapter canal. This nine Jelly is jealous of Narwhals new friend Otter. Readers will have a pun tasting time with book 4 of this super fun series.

I loved it!!! Its fun and a light read as usual. The Otter was great/ funny character. I wanted to keep reading more of it. Great quality pictures. I will defiantly buy a copy to keep in my children's bookshelf at school.

Clanton succeeds again with another installment of Narwhal and Jelly. This time the best friends find new friends, but it doesn't feel so great for Jelly. Being friends with more than one person at as time can be really hard and not always easy to understand. The introduction of Otter and Rocky was an excellent way to showcase how to handle new friends challenges. The best part about being best friends is being together even when it's with other friends. I loved the introduction of Otter and his awesome otter facts.

My daughters, who are 9 years old, read this book with me. This is their review:
"I really liked the story. I liked how Narwhal met a new friend. I also liked that the author put some true facts in the story. Narwhal is a great character. Narwhal is very polite and has good manners. The pictures are awesome. I really like that it looks like a comic."

I thought this was a fun book for kids. Its easy to read which inspires kids to read. And i loved the message of friendship and dealing with jealousy.

Narwhal's Otter Friend is the 4th book featuring the charming and delightful Narwhal and Jelly. Written and illustrated by Ben Clanton, it has an estimated release date in early Feb 2019. It's fully illustrated in graphic novel style, 64 pages with easily read text, and available in hardcover format. The story is adorable and certainly familiar to almost every kid. What happens when your best friend makes another new friend? Of course Jelly's jealous when Narwhal meets Otter! That's huge stuff when you're 5 years old (or in some cases, considerably older)! I like that there's an intermission roughly in the middle of the book with a lot of cool factoids about real life otters and jellyfish. There's also a couple page long story toward the end of the book (as in the previous books) illustrated in a very different style to differentiate it which reminded me of a similar technique Dav Pilkey uses for cutaway stories inside of his books (as the main characters drawing or telling another story inside the main story).

It's just such an exuberant book. The illustrations are wonderful and the story itself is a lot deeper and more meaningful than the happy bouncy surface would imply. I think this book (and indeed the other books in this series) would make worthwhile reading group or classroom reads for younger readers. The characters are so relatable and real and the fact that they're anthropomorphic makes them more accessible. There is jealousy, conflict, and resolution and all are presented in a way that is understandable and non-threatening to a young reader.

This would be a superlative pick for a library read also.

I am a huge fan!

Five stars.

Narwhal and Jelly are one of my favourite Juvenile series to recommend to emerging readers and this book does not disappoint! Mr Clanton continues developing the characters and making them more relatable and realistic for younger readers to connect to. I eagerly anticipate the next book!
