Super cute, for early readers or 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.
