This Book Is Dangerous!

(3) K-3 In this picture book featuring the main characters from the Narwhal and Jelly series of graphic novels for transitional readers, jellyfish Jelly is frightened to be inside a “dangerous” book. Several close calls with sea creatures (and a cannon) force the cnidarian to muster courage to face “another hungry creature”--which turns out to be good friend Narwhal. Frenetic direct address to the reader, sound effects, text-size variations, and dramatic illustrations add to the energy of this entertaining introduction to these underwater characters for younger readers.
