Cranky Chicken by Katherine Battersby
4.0
funny fast-paced

 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.  When chicken says no, worm says they could be it’s wing woman, chicken still says no, and we get wing worm.  It’s a way of being inclusive and acknowledging the sexlessness of worms and how they don’t have to be gendered.  And I loved that.  This book was a stellar read for beginning chapter readers who want graphic novels.
