A Waffle Lot of Love! (A Narwhal and Jelly Book #10)
#10 in Narwhal and Jelly Series
on Goodreads (23)
What’s inside...
Narwhal’s everlasting love of waffles takes center stage when a fresh batch mysteriously appears in the under-sea world he shares with Jelly and their ocean friends. As Narwhal’s waffle enthusiasm spreads, Jelly worries that his best pal may have *too much* of a good thing. Together the duo navigates sharing, self-control, and the joy of including everyone in something delicious. True to Ben Clanton’s signature style, the graphic-novel-style chapters combine playful comics, waffle-themed facts, and a sprinkle of imagination that turns the simple snack into a big lesson about friendship.
