Cranky, Crabby Crow (Saves the World)
Checking Availibility...Description
"Storytelling at its most brilliant--and whimsical." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Everything is on the line for crabby, cranky Crow. But why, exactly, is Crow so moody? The reason will delight readers in three-time Geisel Medal and Caldecott Honor winner Corey R. Tabor's funny and surprising twist on friendship, science, and saving the world.
Cranky, crabby Crow does not want to play with Squirrel or do loop-de-loops with Hummingbird. He doesn't have time for Rat or Bat. From high atop a telephone pole, Cat warns Crow that he will soon be all alone if he turns his friends away with his very cranky "kaw!" one more time. But, unbeknownst to all, Crow has bigger, world-saving fish to fry--he must protect planet Earth from an asteroid headed our way!
With playful illustrations and a classic "Tabor twist," Cranky, Crabby Crow is an excellent choice for readers who love Mo Willems and Jon Klassen. Kirkus Reviews calls Corey R. Tabor "a master of the early reader" with good reason, and here he once again proves himself an innovative and unforgettable storyteller. Cranky, Crabby Crow explores perennial, age-appropriate social and emotional themes through Corey R. Tabor's signature subtlety and silliness. Includes a secret code.

"Storytelling at its most brilliant--and whimsical." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Clever pacing, bone-dry humor, and visual surprises distinguish this wildly entertaining picture book from Tabor, whose ability to conjure up a fully fleshed-out scenario in just a few strokes contributes significantly to the action." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
