Take the plunge into this interactive picture book spin-off of the bestselling Narwhal and Jelly series starring everyone’s favorite anxious jellyfish. Help Jelly attempt to safely navigate through the dangerous ocean and this book — with hilarious results! Features a glow-in-the-dark cover!

Did the title just say that this book is dangerous? Jelly doesn't do dangerous. Can you help Jelly find a way out? Just don't move a muscle or make any loud noises, okay? And definitely DON'T touch anything!

While everything seems to come sunny-side up for Narwhal on their adventures, Jelly has more than a few worries about the many dangers out there in the ocean: sea serpents, pirate crabs, circus cannons, lost porcupines, and spiky things of any kind could be lurking around each turn of the page! In the tradition of interactive classics like The Monster at the End of This Book, Jelly has got to find a way out of this book, and it's up to the reader to help this little jellyfish . . . or not!

WARNING: This book is dangerously fun!
A 2025 Indigo Best of the Year (So Far)

"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

"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
