Caramel reviews A Super Scary Narwhalloween by Ben Clanton

Caramel’s first review for this blog was Narwhal: The Unicorn of the Sea! Since then, he has reviewed all the books from Ben Clanton’s Narwhal and Jelly series about two wacky oceanic friends. Today he reviews the most recent addition to the series: A Super Scary Narwhalloween, published in 2023. As usual, Sprinkles is taking notes and asking questions.

[Readers might like to check out the full series by reading Caramel’s reviews of Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Narwhal’s Otter Friend, Happy Narwhalidays, Narwhal’s School of Awesomeness, and Narwhalicorn and Jelly.]

Sprinkles: So Caramel, since the beginning of this blog, you have matured a lot. And you have been reading a lot of different books, but whenever you see Ben Clanton publish a new Narwhal and Jelly book, you can’t seem to resist it.

Caramel: Of course not. Narwhal and Jelly make me happy!

S: I can see that. So remind our readers who Narwhal and Jelly are.

C: Narwhal is a narwhal, and Jelly is a jellyfish. And they live in an ocean, and they are good friends. They have a lot of fun adventures together.

S: So what is this eighth book about?

C: Narwhal has a costume conundrum.

S: What does that mean?

C: Meaning he could not think of what to wear for Halloween.

S: Okay. Go on.

C: And he puts on too many costumes at the same time so everyone thinks he is a monster. But he does not realize that they are all scared of him. So when he tries to eat some waffles, he gets all sticky. Jelly helps him out. So all is well in the end.

S: I am guessing that is one of the reasons why you love these books. That they always end happily.

C: Yes. But also I really like Jelly. Narwhal is also funny. I like his jokes.

S: I seem to recall that the books in this series also have a lot of facts in them. And you love books full of facts. How about this one? Are there new facts in it too?

C: Yes!

S: Tell me one new fact you learned from this book then.

C: I learned that there is a bat that is the size of a bumblebee.

S: That is neat, Caramel.

C: It is! It is a tiny, tiny thing!

S: So I was thinking we would hold on to this book and review it for Halloween. But obviously you could not wait.

C: It was very hard.

S: That’s alright. I am sure we will find other books for Halloween. But so tell me, if you were to describe this book in three words, what would you say?

C: Colorful, hilarious, and as always, factful!

S: Yes. That is great, Caramel. So then you recommend this book to all little bunnies who have read the previous adventures of Narwhal and Jelly?

C: Yes, they should all read all of them! At least the second book, Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt.

S: Why?

C: Because this one mentions Jelly Jolt, too.

S: I see. Okay, then. Let us wrap up this review. What do you want to tell our readers?

C: Stay tuned for more book bunny reviews!
