An absolutely adorable children's graphic novel。 Narwhal and Jelly do not disappoint。 I enjoyed the concept of making school fun and relatable to children。 The sunglasses and waffles were my favourite parts。 An absolutely adorable children's graphic novel。 Narwhal and Jelly do not disappoint。 I enjoyed the concept of making school fun and relatable to children。 The sunglasses and waffles were my favourite parts。 。。。more

A great addition to the Narwhal & Jelly series！ When a school of fish disturb a typical day for Narwhal/Jelly they decide to help out as teachers for a day for their new fish friends。 Great humor and stellar vocabulary make this book standout in the series！ Short stories are always a hit with young readers。

My daughter and I love Narwhal and Jelly books！ I also use them in my pre-k classroom。 They are great beginning readers。 I love the bold and lively drawings。 But I also like that there are easy words and more difficult words for the kids to read。 This book is perfect for my more advanced readers who are working beyond sight words。 Another great addition to the Narwhal and Jelly series。

We love Narwhal and Jelly， and this book was just as good as the others。 These books are great for reluctant readers。 My son and I read them and each pretend to be one of the characters。 I love the format of these books。 There is just enough text but not too challenging。 These books would be great for second or third grade students。

This book’s comedic timing is perfect。 Ben deftly balances humor and groan-worthy puns with fascinating science facts， the creative incorporation of synonyms， and the most wholesome game of tag I’ve ever encountered。 In short， a delight。 And a much-anticipated sequel in my own home。5/5 waffles

This new installment in the Narwhal and Jelly series is packed with funny dialogue and activity， off-the-wall silliness， and seamlessly interwoven educational content。 In this story， which is partly a tribute to a substitute teacher who inspired the author when he was a child， Narwhal takes on the challenge of substitute-teaching a school of small fish。The fish are all in sync with each other， and speak together in various synonyms of the same word。 The vocabulary alone makes this book education This new installment in the Narwhal and Jelly series is packed with funny dialogue and activity， off-the-wall silliness， and seamlessly interwoven educational content。 In this story， which is partly a tribute to a substitute teacher who inspired the author when he was a child， Narwhal takes on the challenge of substitute-teaching a school of small fish。The fish are all in sync with each other， and speak together in various synonyms of the same word。 The vocabulary alone makes this book educational， and I knew that I was going to give this five stars when I saw the word "indubitably。" The fish also learn from Narwhal， gaining new scientific information and mathematical understanding。 What Narwhal teaches fits perfectly within the book， instead of feeling like an interruption， and the character interactions are lots of fun。Other reviewers comment that this book seemed somewhat chaotic to them， but it fits with a young reader's interest and attention span， while also providing new information and challenging words that are very clear in context。 This is a great book for fans of the series， kids who are interested in animal-related graphic novels， and kids who like to play school。I received a temporary digital copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I love me some Narwhal and Jelly。 This time they become teachers and go on adventures with a school of fish。 The fist are interesting because they are a great way to talk about synonyms。 When ever they reply， they do so with a synonym of what the first fish said。 This entire series is great。 It's a Graphic novel， it’s a chapter book， it's for beginners， and it’s just waffebulous。 I love me some Narwhal and Jelly。 This time they become teachers and go on adventures with a school of fish。 The fist are interesting because they are a great way to talk about synonyms。 When ever they reply， they do so with a synonym of what the first fish said。 This entire series is great。 It's a Graphic novel， it’s a chapter book， it's for beginners， and it’s just waffebulous。 。。。more

I have been out of school for， well， quite a while now， but I would absolutely attend "Narwhal's School of Awesomeness。" In this， Ben Clanton's sixth outing for Narwhal and Jelly， they save the day and become substitute teachers when Mr。 Blowfish catches a cold， leaving his fishy scholars adrift。 Professor Knowell （Narwhal） schools the fish （sorry， couldn't resist） in WaffleMatics。 Who wouldn't love math if it came with waffles and syrup？ There's also an exciting science scavenger hunt。 The scho I have been out of school for， well， quite a while now， but I would absolutely attend "Narwhal's School of Awesomeness。" In this， Ben Clanton's sixth outing for Narwhal and Jelly， they save the day and become substitute teachers when Mr。 Blowfish catches a cold， leaving his fishy scholars adrift。 Professor Knowell （Narwhal） schools the fish （sorry， couldn't resist） in WaffleMatics。 Who wouldn't love math if it came with waffles and syrup？ There's also an exciting science scavenger hunt。 The school of nine fish are adorable， and kids will pick up lots of new vocabulary words from them。 While this is geared toward younger elementary school children， adults will also appreciate the humor and the artwork。 4 out of 5 starfish！I received and advance copy from Penguin Random House Canada/Tundra Books and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。This， and other reviews， can also be found on Goodreads， and my blog: redhatcatreviews。com。 。。。more

To be honest I don't really know what to think of this。 I personally found it boring but I could see children liking it because of all the facts and things that you learn。 I feel like the book kind of ping pongs around with randomness， not unlike the brain of a child 😂 I will tell you that I learned some very interesting facts， and I found myself thinking about the book later throughout the day。 Which is a good thing。 Not to mention the fact that the pictures are so cute， simple though they may To be honest I don't really know what to think of this。 I personally found it boring but I could see children liking it because of all the facts and things that you learn。 I feel like the book kind of ping pongs around with randomness， not unlike the brain of a child 😂 I will tell you that I learned some very interesting facts， and I found myself thinking about the book later throughout the day。 Which is a good thing。 Not to mention the fact that the pictures are so cute， simple though they may be。 But， I felt like a parakeet on the 4th of july。 Everything felt so random and just pulled out of the guy's brain without thought to any storyline or plot。 It's quick， and it's a bit painful to read when you're an adult。 As an adult it feels like he's phoned it in。 But I can genuinely see a child liking this book。 So like I said， I don't really know how to rate this book lolAwesomeness （A Narwhal and Jelly Book #6） by Ben Clanton。 #NetGalley thank you for allowing me to read this book for free in exchange for honest review。 。。。more
