1-3Narwhal and Jelly Book series.
In their second graphic novel for transitional readers, Narwhal and Jelly aspire to superhero status, donning costumes and assuming secret identities, but Narwhal has difficulty determining a superpower. Accessible text is complemented by engaging illustrations primarily in gray, aqua, and yellow. Three short chapters plus "super sea creatures" facts fit the audience, but an unfinished superhero comic "created by" the duo adds confusion and choppiness to the main story.
