Web ID: 15276114Super cute, for early readers and older kids
I was so excited for this book and we loved it. 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. 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. Jelly is skeptical, but then he receives a mysterious present. 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. We adore this series, and I can’t wait for more of it. 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.

adorable addition to the series
Oh my gosh, that was cute! Can science please figure out how to bottle Narwhal's enthusiasm, so I can chug it? I love the friendship between these two, it's very sweet. The humor is dorky and fun, and the artwork is adorable! I like the science/nature facts mixed in too. A jolly holiday read! #NetGalley

Happy Narwhalidays!
We are big fans of Narwhal and Jelly books, and our kids are much older than the target audience. Narwhal and Jelly are celebrating Narwhalidays! And it would not be complete without their friends, waiting for the “The Merry Mermicorn”, and cool ocean facts. Fun read for all ages! Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada for an advanced look at this fun book!

Festive and Adorable
This book is wonderfully festive and adorable. I enjoyed the short graphic novel narratives, and it brought great joy to my curmudgeonly heart to see an illustration of a shark wearing a Santa hat. This is fun for kids and adults who enjoy this series, and can also be a fun introduction for people who aren't familiar with the previous books, but think that a Christmas book about narwhals would be a lot of fun. It is!

Happy narwhalidays!
I adore Narwhal & Jelly books, and I'm tickled that they now have a holiday book. The loveliest thing about the series is the gentle fun and humor tucked into simple stories that manage to capture a multiplicity of views among the denizens of the sea. While Narwhal and Jelly are looking for the fabled Mermicorn, other creatures are celebrating the narwhalidays in different ways - going coral-ing, lighting the minnow- orah, and shooting off To sparkle for the winter solstice celebration, As usual, puns abound, along with good tide-ings to you and your fin!
