# Cranky Makes a Friend - Hardcover

by **Phuc Tran** (Author), **Pete Oswald** (Illustrator)

**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.
