Description

The first three laugh-out-loud chapter book graphic novels with Cranky Chicken and Speedy the worm are now together in one collectible paper-over-board boxed set sure to delight fans of Narwhal and Jelly and The Bad Guys!

Cranky Chicken is, well, cranky. With one cranky eyebrow, cranky eyes, and even cranky, scratchy feet. But then one day, Cranky meets a very friendly worm named Speedy who wants nothing more than to be friends. Young readers will love seeing this mismatched friendship grow over the course of three charming and laugh-out-loud volumes as Chicken and Speedy become BFFs (best feathered friends) and learn about how to be there for each other along the way.

This brightly colored paper-over-board boxed set includes:
Cranky Chicken
Party Animals
Crankosaurus
