Critics Review
★ “Together, art and text make this species biography not merely a lesson but an adventure, too.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review★ “Rich in facts and feelings, a warm invitation to join the pod of sea mammal lovers.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review★ “This will be popular with animal lovers everywhere—particularly those convinced these unicorns are imaginary.” —Booklist, starred review★ “Readers are immediately immersed in the life of a narwhal as the unseen narrator invites them into the narrative….striking and informative.” —The Horn Book, starred review“The digital art embodies an approach of wonder and science….This would make an informative class read, or as a nonfiction companion to the sillier Narwhal of the Narwhal and Jelly series.” —The Bulletin
