Everything is on the line for crabby, cranky Crow. But why, exactly, is Crow so moody? The reason will delight readers in three-time Geisel Medal and Caldecott Honor–winner Corey R. Tabor’s funny and surprising twist on friendship, science, and saving the world.

Cranky, crabby Crow does NOT want to play with Squirrel or do loop-de-loops with Hummingbird. He doesn’t have time for Rat or Bat. From high atop a telephone pole, Cat warns Crow that he will soon be all alone if he turns his friends away with his very cranky “kaw!” one more time. But, unbeknownst to all, Crow has bigger, world-saving fish to fry—he must protect planet Earth from an asteroid headed our way!

Beautifully illustrated and sure to have kids giggling, Corey R. Tabor, the Caldecott Honor artist and three-time Geisel Award winner, once again explores age-appropriate social and emotions themes from a new perspective and with subtlety and silliness.
