Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea by Ben Clanton

---

Ahoy there mateys! I be the first to admit that I am not really a graphic novel or comics person. While I like art, I do not have a visual mind at all. For example, me film friends laugh good-naturedly at me all the time when when I watch tv or movies with them because I miss the visual cues of storytelling. This means the tv or movie must be paused so the can explain the plot points I literally didn’t see. I need words! Dialogue! Something! But the First Mate and I had donated books to a local library sale and had time to kill. So of course we chose to remain at the library while time went by. The most avaliable place to sit ended up being next to the juvenile graphic novel section. I had heard good things about this series and saw it so naturally I picked it up. I have to admit that while cute, I was underwhelmed by this. There was barely any real storytelling. I thought it would be one story overall but instead there were basically vigenettes. Me favourite part ended up being the animal facts section. I did think the waffles were silly. Arrrr!
