Beak & Ally: Unlikely Friends

Book Synopsis

A brand-new early reader graphic novel series about finding friendship in unexpected places! This fun and funny buddy comedy is perfect for fans of Narwhal & Jelly, emerging readers, and all kids who love comics.

Ally the alligator is perfectly happy being alone . . . until one day a noisy bird named Beak lands on her snout.

Beak thinks Ally is lonely and needs a friend. He has all sorts of friendship goals in mind, like riding bikes together, going to the movies together, and even solving mysteries together! But when a Long-Billed Party Pooper crashes Beak’s nest-warming party, Ally decides to show Beak something important to her: sticking up for what’s right.

Our Review Panel says...

This graphic novel for younger readers is absolutely hilarious. Beak, the bird and Ally, the alligator meet when Beak moves into Ally’s swamp. From the very first second Beak annoys Ally considerably with all his talking and singing and talking. Ally likes being alone, well most of the time and Beak is quite insistent that Ally needs a friend like him.

This book has a lovely message about making and finding new friends in different places and situations and is full of jokes. My eight-year-old daughter loves this book. She has re-read it another four times now without any prompting from me!

Norm Feuti’s colourful illustrations engage the reader. This book would be great for introducing children to graphic novels and be perfect for fans of the Narwhal and Jelly books. This book would be suitable for younger readers in KS1 but also slightly older reluctant readers too.
