Starred Review for Kirkus Reviews

Narwhal and his jellyfish sidekick, Jelly, see just how much joy a simple thing can bring if they use a little imagination.When Jelly remarks on Narwhal's new "blankie," Narwhal points out that it's not just a blanket-it can do so much more. In fact, Narwhal's blankie is amazingly versatile. It's a blanket! It's a hankie! And, of course, after sneezing into it, one can fashion it into a hat and wear it on one's head. Mounted on a stick, it makes a dandy flag; gathered in a knot, it doubles as a bag. Blankie is a great place to host a picnic; it can also be worn as a cape or a dress. But Blankie's best feature, Narwhal points out, is that it's big enough for two-a cozy, warm place to snuggle with a friend. The two friends swim and play against an all-white background that accentuates their delightful expressions and chemistry. A few well-placed motion lines and Blankie's various permutations provide the rest of the story in Clanton's successful adaptation of his Narwhal and Jelly books for school-age readers. The characters' loosely rhymed dialogue unfolds in fast-paced, breezy jokes, and a good-natured sense of play permeates the proceedings. The contemporaneously published volume Bubbles is similarly charming and manages one of the few fart jokes (kids love 'em) that one might arguably describe as clever.A delightful celebration of friendship and fancy. (Board book. 1-4)
