Description

By (author) Clanton Ben

Narwhal is a happy-go-lucky narwhal. Jelly is a no-nonsense jellyfish. The two might not have a lot in common, but they do love waffles, parties and adventures.

Join Narwhal and Jelly as they become the coolest teachers in the world wide waters in the hilarious sixth book of this blockbuster graphic novel series!

Dive into four new stories about Narwhal and Jelly becoming SUBstitute teachers!

The two best friends come across an enthusiastic school of fish one morning. Unfortunately, Mr. Blowfish, their teacher, has come down with a cold, and class will have to be cancelled . . . until Professor Knowell (Narwhal) and Super Teacher (Jelly) volunteer to help out!

From Wafflematics, in which Narwhal and Jelly calculate the number of waffles needed to feed the class to a super-fun science scavenger hunt, followed by a game of “Tag! You”re Awesome!” at breaktime. Narwhal”s teaching methods may be unconventional, but with Jelly”s help, the two teach (and learn) with their trademark positivity and fun. Before they know it, the day is over . . . but what grade will Narwhal receive from Jelly?

The perfect first book for young 5 year-old, 6 year-old, 7 year old and 8 year-old readers looking for funny, high interest books that are an accessible read, where they”ll discover the joys of friendship, working together and the power of imagination. Featuring three short stories and a super fun ocean fact page – and joke page too!
