Narwhal and Jelly books in order

Ages 6–9 · about grade 1 comic · still going

There are 10 Narwhal and Jelly books. Start with Narwhal and Jelly: Unicorn of the Sea! (2016) and read them in number order. The newest is book 10, A Waffle Lot of Love! (2025). Peabody's own estimate: Linden Tree Books lists books 8 and 10 as ages 6 to 9, and Bookroo shows between 5 and 9 on the series. Neither is the publisher.

What reading it is like: Very short comics in big panels with only a line or two of text each, plus sea-creature facts at the end of some chapters.

What's next for Narwhal and Jelly

  • Super Pod Party Pack!: A paperback that puts books 1 and 2 together. It isn't a new book.
  • Blankie and Bubbles: Two board books for toddlers, with much less text than the comics.
  • This Book Is Dangerous! and This Book Is Seriously Silly!: Interactive picture books in a separate picture-book line that Bookroo lists for ages 3 to 7.

Do you have to read Narwhal and Jelly in order?

Start anywhere. Each book is a set of short, separate comics about two friends under the sea, and a child can open any one and enjoy it. Reading from book 1 shows how the two friends first met, which is a good place to begin.

What age is Narwhal and Jelly for?

Six to nine is our estimate, not a reading level, and Bookroo shows a few books down to 5. Each comic uses very few words, so it works well for a child who is starting to read comics alone or for reading aloud. Older children may find the stories simple but still enjoy the jokes. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.
