About

In this second picture book from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of the “Food Group” series, Pete Oswald, and acclaimed picture book author Phuc Tran's bestselling “Cranky” series, Cranky is feeling extra cranky when a new crane joins the crew.

There's a new crane on the construction site! His name is Lefty and he's the opposite of Cranky-smiley, talkative, and a jokester. Everything Lefty does makes Cranky feel extra cranky. But everyone else seems to love him. What if Cranky's friends like Lefty more than him?

Find out how self-acceptance and a supportive crew help one cranky truck make a new friend in this humorous story about big trucks, big feelings, and even bigger friendships. With Phuc Tran's hilarious text and Pete Oswald's bold, expressive illustrations, this read is perfect for fans of “Grumpy Monkey” and construction vehicles.
