“Just imagine what we can do - TOGETHER!“

This Graphica book is very child friendly and appeals to young readers as it is rather easy to read and understand, portrays humor, has interactive illustrations, and carries an important message. I believe that this story would be best enjoyed by children in grades K-3. I could see this story being utilized as a read aloud with children who yet have the ability to read. But it would also be a good Graphica piece to provide beginning readers with.

I found this Graphica book to be very child friendly as well as easy to read! The storyline was very clever, and the illustrations were very interactive and helped portray what was happening very well in my opinion. I found it to send a very important and strong message to its reader focusing on the importance friendship. I would definitely recommend reading this book to an elementary level classroom!

I loved this book! It was a clever little story, and had beautiful illustrations! I definitely would recommend reading to an elementary level classroom!

“Everything. the sun is too bright. My tail is it itchy.”

i like this book it is adorable. I like that the worm talked to the chicken and they became friends.

I absolutely adore the simple brush strokes of the illustration. It adds to the simple humor of the story.

This graphics published in 2021 is filled with humor. The story is about a cranky chicken and a speedy worm who without knowing need each other. The story follows the two around and is a quick and fun read.

“Why are you following me, anyway?!” “Because I like you.”

This has been one of my favorite books to read recently. I love the simplicity of the illustrations that have colorful backgrounds, but focus on Cranky and Speedy. It is a quick read but still tells a full story.

The illustrations was light colored and it made it look liked it was created with color pencils. I liked how it looked because it appeals to the eyes of children.

This book was a quick read because it was funny and the story was conveying.

Everything about Cranky Chicken is, as expected cranky. Cranky eyes, a cranky eyebrow, and cranky feet. One day Cranky meets a friendly worm named Speedy who, through short and charming adventures, helps him to look on the brighter side of things and become best friends.

“You sure look happy, friend!“

I loved how this story displayed the power of friendship and how you can overcome the blues that you may be feeling.

The Cranky Chicken, by Katherine Battersby is wonderful attribute to what kind of emotions students may be feeling and what it looks like as well. It also talked about how with the support of friends and family, you can conquer those emotions and find things that make you happy.

100% picked this up just because I liked the title. And it‘s pretty amusing! Even with its anti cheese agenda.

It‘s the peg on the nose for me! 🧀

I love Speedy! 😂#CharactersReading

One of the things that makes worm not feel cranky (meaning feel happy). 😄 #CharactersReading

This was a really fun graphic novel. It does break the fourth wall. The chicken and the worm do not talk to the readers, but they know they are in the book you are reading. Cranky Chicken is cranky because it doesn‘t have a friend. Turns out the worm is the same. This book just gets a chuckle out of readers. One thing I really loved is when Worm says I can be your wingman. ⬇

I mean, there is no way I could resist a book with this title & this awesome cover! This is a super fun graphic novel with great illustrations & minimal text perfect for emerging readers looking for something in between picture books & full on chapter books. As you might guess, it‘s about a cranky chicken...& then the chicken meets a worm & makes a new friend. It‘s a delightful story about feelings & friendship. Super fun! On sale 9/7/21.
