(Margaret K. McElderry Books)

Cranky Chicken and Speedy the worm have a new member in their Best Feathered Family: a little turtle! But what should they call her? And what do turtles eat or do for fun? Will Cranky figure out how to be the turtle's friend? Then Speedy gets hurt and becomes…cranky! Does that mean that Cranky must become — gasp! — Cheerful Chicken? Later, a camping trip brings the trio together for an exciting vacation. Will Chicken survive the outdoor toilets, the nighttime noises, and all those bugs?

These three delightful stories about friendship and caring for one another — interspersed with laugh-out-loud vignettes — will make readers fall even more deeply in love with their favourite BFFs (that is, best feathered friends)! (From Margaret K. McElderry Books)
