The ending to the book? Really enjoyed it and I had a giggle at that last page. The in-between story about the jellybean flavour… not a fan. I was happy that he got a bit less grumpy as the story continued and I loved when Jelly found a present and he went on a quest to find one for Narwhal! Jelly was a tad grumpy in my eyes, but then again he is cold and he is generally the more neutral one out of the two friends. I had fun seeing Narwhal explain it all to him.

Thankfully he has a friend like Narwhal who is more than eager to sing songs, make wafflepudding (which sounds both yum and eww), and tell Jelly all about presents and the Merry Mermicorn. Well, except Jelly because he doesn’t know about it and just wishes things were warmer (which I could understand).

In this book it is time for Christmas and all the animals are excited for it. So some Christmas in with the spooky, oh well, if Jack Skellington can do it. It feels a bit weird to read this one during Halloween/Spooktober (read this one on October 5th), but I just couldn’t wait until November or December. English books are still not that easily found and I hadn’t expected to find this series. It is time for some hollyjolly holidays with Narwhal and Jelly!įinally my library had this book! I really like this series and was surprised to find the newest book at one of my libraries. It is perfect for a young child and beginning reader to take turns reading (much like Elephant and Piggie), but my 7-year old, who is a strong reader, still really enjoyed it. We adore this series, and I can’t wait for more of it. Narwhal is always full of optimism and positivity and Jelly is, well, not, but I love how they are friends and help balance each other out to a half glass of water - not half full or half empty.

Jelly is skeptical, but then he receives a mysterious present. In this book, Jelly is a little grumpy about the cold water of winter, and Narwhal is excited and full of optimism about the Merry Mermicorn, who sometimes brings gifts, and is part mermaid and part unicorn. My daughter saw it on the library pile when I picked it up and was ready to devour it in the car on the way home, but I made her wait for me! We really loved this gentle story and took turns reading for the characters, and we liked the little story that Narwhal makes with Jelly towards the end, it was so silly. I was so excited for this book and we loved it.
