Narwhal and Jelly - and Otty?! In the fourth book of this blockbuster early graphic novel series, exuberant Narwhal and sceptical Jelly test the waters of adding a new friend to their pod when they meet Otty the super-adventurous otter!

A wonderfully silly early graphic novel series featuring three short stories and a super fun ocean fact page - and joke page too!

The perfect first book for young readers, just moving on from picture books, discovering the joys of friendship, working together and the power of imagination.

PRAISE FOR Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea:

'Undersea adventures have never been so darn cute .... The incessant charm and unabashed joy should make this an easy sell. Swimmingly delightful and a guaranteed smile-maker' - Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

'An utterly enchanting start to a series that's bound to be popular among young readers' - Starred Review, School Library Journal

'Geez, Narwhal and Jellyfish are adorable. There's no other word as appropriate for this duo& readers will likely clamour for the next outing' - Starred Review, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

'Bantering dialogue entertains throughout, but the book's best moment might belong to the third story, when Narwhal lends Jelly his "favourite book in the whole wide water, which is blank...". "It's an imagination book, Jelly!... Narwhal explains. Readers ready for underwater goofiness of the non-SpongeBob variety will be eager for more adventures from this duo' - Publishers Weekly
