I'm a school librarian and these series of books are quite popular with my elementary students. This particular graphic novel is all about Narwhal and Jelly becoming substitute teachers after they discover Mr. Blowfish is out sick. Jelly is a bit more serious while Narwhal thinks up lots of silly lessons to teach the young fish. I thought it was cute, entertaining and definitely a book that any young Kindergarten to 3rd grader would love to read. I will be adding this to our library collection where it can be shared with my students. I received a complimentary book from the publisher in exchange for a review. ( )

My kids were thrilled when I got a free copy of this to review. I have only read one other in the series but it seems on pat with the rest.
This book is playful and a fun read. I appreciate as a parent how the book includes some big words, allot of books in this style shy away from larger words or even worse purposefully include misspellings. I thought it was great how it lauded learning and showed how learning does not have to be boring.
The only thing I would say for parents is Narwhale and Jelly lead the class on a fact finding scavenger hunt. One team interviews seahorses and the fact that male seahorses are the pregnant ones is presented. It is of course true and my kids already know this so I am not concerned but I see this could be confusing for some kids so some parents might want to talk about it with them.
I was givin a copy if this book in return for a review, my opinions are always are my own.

A sneezing puffer fish, a group of fish headed to school, the silliness continues in the sixth book in the series. Those who love these books won't be disappointed. Any kids headed to a new school or joining an unfamiliar class may particularly enjoy this one as Narwhal and Jelly get to know some new friends. ( )

The sixth book in the Narwhal and Jelly series is all about school and learning. I liked this one more than some of the others, especially the gag with the school of fish coming up with synonyms for words. Super idea! As usual, there are facts about some sea creatures and the albatross. Waffles, of course, are involved. Adding more color makes the books more appealing to me. Enjoy!

Review by a nine-year-old:
In this Narwhal and Jelly book, there are nine fish that go to school, but their teacher is sick so Narwhal and Jelly decide to teach them. They teach wafflematics (waffles plus mathematics), comics and have a science scavenger hunt.
This was as funny as the other Narwhal and Jelly books and taught me wafflematics. ( )
