About the Book
Cranky Chicken and Speedy the worm return in this hilarious and heartwarming graphic chapter book where they navigate friendship, caring for each other, a cranky injury, and a fun camping adventure—sure to be beloved by fans of Narwhal and Jelly and The Bad Guys!
Cranky Chicken and Speedy the worm have a new member in their Best Feathered Family: a little turtle! But what should they call her? And what do turtles eat or do for fun? Will Cranky figure out how to be the turtle’s friend? Then Speedy gets hurt and becomes…cranky! Does that mean that Cranky must become—gasp!—Cheerful Chicken? Later, a camping trip brings the trio together for an exciting vacation. Will Chicken survive the outdoor toilets, the nighttime noises, and all those bugs?
These three delightful stories about friendship and caring for one another—interspersed with laugh-out-loud vignettes—will make readers fall even more deeply in love with their favorite BFFs (that is, best feathered friends)!
