A super scary Narwhalloween / by Clanton, Ben,1988-;

Jelly isn't dressing up, though -- he's a little scared of this time of year, and would prefer to hunker down in a hidey-hole until Halloween is over. But when a scary sea monster makes an appearance and swallows Narwhal (gulp!), can Jelly, with the help of some super friends, pluck up the courage to save his best bud?
