Tabor's funny and surprising twist on friendship, science, and saving the world. Cranky, crabby Crow does not want to play with Squirrel or do loop-de-loops with Hummingbird.

But, unbeknownst to all, Crow has bigger, world-saving fish to fry—he must protect planet Earth from an asteroid headed our way! With a classic "Tabor twist," Cranky, Crabby Crow is an excellent choice for readers who love Mo Willems and Jon Klassen. Kirkus Reviews calls Corey R. Tabor "a master of the early reader" with good reason, and here he once again proves himself an innovative and unforgettable storyteller. Cranky, Crabby Crow explores perennial, age-appropriate social and emotional themes through Corey R. Tabor's signature subtlety and silliness

Noah Prime never expected to wind up a fugitive hunted by aliens. To be honest, he had never even believed…
in aliens until a team of them blew up his house. He escaped and managed to save the world by using his mysterious ability to harness the traits of every animal on earth. Now he's in hiding, and thinks all is well, until his friend Ogden buys a star for Claire, the most popular girl in school. However, instead of a quaint romantic notion, it turns out to be an actual real estate deal and aliens from that star system abduct Claire to take her to the nasty, trash-filled planet she now owns. It's up to Noah, Sahara, and Ogden to cross the cosmos in search of Claire to save her and her strange new world from the evilest body-snatching worms in the galaxy. This time it's going to take a lot more than walrus blubber, cheetah speed, or skunk funk to save the day...it's going to take friendship of the most extraordinary and extraterrestrial variety." -- WorldCat
