BEN CLANTON doesn’t really DO dangerous. He prefers waffles, cute animals and funny stories. He often puts these things in the books he makes, such as his series Narwhal and Jelly, Tater Tales and Ploof (co-created with Andy Chou Musser). Ben lives happily and safely in the city of Seattle with his family.

"Jelly dips tentacles into interactive, metafictive waters in a series of encounters with things thorny, toothy, and, well, dangerous. Funny, energetic, and empowering." —Kirkus Reviews

"Readers gets involved in the action as Jelly nervously (and unsuccessfully) navigates away from danger. The prompts capitalize on the childish instinct to do the opposite of what one is told to do. Instead, readers will delight in heralding Jelly toward more danger. Luckily the torture has a sweet end. . . . A safe way to indulge nefarious urges, letting kids dabble in destructive tendencies without actually hurting anyone." —School Library Journal

"When Jelly finds some courage, along with ingenuity, and a bit of luck, he feels calmer, safer, and happy to meet his old friend Narwhal for a nostalgic ending. His warning not to read the book over again is not to be taken literally." —Imaginary Elevators

"One can never have enough Narwhal and Jelly in the library, and this fun interactive picture book is a great way to introduce newly independent readers to the graphic novel series. Those who aren’t quite there yet will love this book on its own merits." —A Kids Book a Day
