Cranky Chicken

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Everything about Chicken is cranky. Cranky eyes, cranky eyebrows, super-sharp cranky beak, even cranky scratchy feet. And everything makes Chicken cranky. The sun is too bright, the dirt is too dirty. What Cranky Chicken is not is lonely. Nope, nope, definitely not. But then along comes a very cheerful worm named Speedy, who just wants to be friends.

The first book in a charming illustrated series about mismatched friends who bring joy, companionship, and a new perspective to each other's lives. Perfect for fans of Elephant and Piggie and The Bad Guys.

"A beautiful, warm series ... about empathy, what it means to be a friend and how people with differing worldviews to your own can be the best friends ... for early readers but will be enjoyed by all" - ReadPlus
