Praise for Let’s Get Cracking!

“A perfectly puntastic page-turner. Hybrids of comics and traditional pictures, the goofy all-color illustrations propel the fast-moving, high-interest story. ‘Ham and eggs’—you don’t want to miss this!” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Just the thing for beginning readers.” —Publishers Weekly

“Step aside, Captain Underpants! There is a new hero in town—this time, with feathers. . . . Fresh, funny, and packed with full-color illustrations, this new transitional series will be an instant hit with readers looking for silly fun and a touch of mystery.” —Booklist
