About the book
Cranky Needs Help (I Can Read Level 2)
"Tran’s “Cranky & Friends” series is perfect for readers [who love construction equipment like cranes, dump trucks, and cement trucks]." –School Library Journal
The second Level 2 I Can Read in the Indie Bestselling Cranky & Friends series by Phuc Tran and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald!
Cranky's fingers are broken! He's never been to the mechanic before, and he doesn't want to go now. But when his injuries get in the way of the boardwalk the crew is building, it just might be time for Cranky to face his fears...
This Level 2 I Can Read is:
- Perfect for Developing Readers: The longer sentences and language play are proven to help kids who read on their own but still need a little help take their next steps toward success.
- Perfect for Summer Reading: Cranky and the crew are building a boardwalk at the beach!
- A Truckload of Social Emotional Learning: Cranky shows young readers how to navigate fear, new experiences, and going to the doctor for the first time in a subtle, implicit way that's funny, fresh, and engaging.
- From the Popular Series: Don’t miss Cranky & Friends in the picture books Cranky, Cranky Makes a Friend, and A Very Cranky Christmas as well as the I Can Read, Cranky versus the Cat.
- Illustrated by the Creator of the Food Group: #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald of The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and more brings his signature humor to the construction site in this series.
