Margo's Musings: Who's the Unicorn of the Sea?

My little sister, Margo, loves unicorns and couldn’t resist the narwhal on the cover of a book we spotted at the library. Narwhals are the unicorns of the sea after all. We were in for a real treat, especially since this is a beginning graphic novel—a different format for Margo, but one she fell in love with.


Narwhal is a happy animal who is bubbly and sweet. He meets Jelly, who tells it like it is. Neither of them has ever seen a creature like the other, and their surprise is entertaining. They may seem like an unlikely pair, but the things they have in common give them a strong bond. Margo and I love their conversations, and we laughed out loud more than once.

Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea by Ben Clanton is an adorable graphic novel and perfect for beginners. Narwhal and Jelly are a duo that will appeal to kids and adults. They're silly and super cute. The book is made up of three stories or adventures- so you can read the whole book at once or divide it into different sessions. The illustrations are very sweet and make learning to read a graphic novel easier. The end of the book is great and even better is the fact that there's a whole series of Narwhal and Jelly books. I know we'll be reading more of these in the future.

Has anyone else read Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea? Or have you read another book by Ben Clanton? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy reading!
