Hello, Crabby! (A Crabby Book)
By Jonathan Fenske
Acorn, Scholastic, 2019. 46 p.
Out of all the new Acorn books—this just might be my favorite! (Then again I already LOVED Barnacle is Bored and Plankton is Pushy—so having another book that is set in that world is totally fine by me!)
So this is a book about Crabby who is, well, a crab. And Crabby is not amused at anything. Barnacle and especially Plankton do not please Crabby. In fact, I think Crabby gets some hidden amusement at frustrating Plankton’s efforts to please Crabby—although I’m with Crabby on preferring lemon cake. Anyway, this again has colorful pictures, color-coordinated speech bubbles, and a paneled layout to help with early readers learning how to read this story (told in four chapters). This is a good choice for those youngsters who are moving up past the simplest easy readers but aren’t quite ready for chapter books.
