Reach for this book when your toddler is going through a phase of intense attachment to a comfort object, or when you want to inspire imaginative play on a rainy afternoon. Blankie celebrates the boundless creativity of early childhood by showing how a familiar, comforting item can become the centerpiece of an adventure. Narwhal and Jelly model a joyful friendship where sharing and play go hand-in-hand. While ostensibly about a security object, the story focuses more on the 'what else' than the 'staying safe.' It is an ideal pick for ages 0-3 to build vocabulary through association and to encourage the developmental milestone of symbolic play. Parents will appreciate the upbeat, gentle tone that validates a child's love for their things while expanding the ways those things can be used.
