Hello, Crabby! By Jonathan Fenske - ADVISABLE

Hello, Crabby! By Jonathan Fenske.  EARLY READER. Scholastic, APRIL 2019. $16(hb)/$5(pb).   978-1338281507

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Fenske tells four little stories with his well-acknowledged sarcasm and aplomb.  Familiar characters from his previous pictures make appearances, helping children bridge the gap from picture book to graphic novel.  

It’s hard to be crabby at Crabby’s scowling face.  I am very curious how well students will understand the jokes and sarcasm, though. As a library you will probably have to buy these in hardcover for the wear and tear.  Part of the new Acorn series from Scholastic as an unleveled early reader.
