Crabby Cratchitt

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andrew Glass. In this parody of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," complete with "E-I-E-I-oh" refrain, Crabby Cratchitt goes after her incessantly clucking hen, hoping to earn a meal for her efforts. The book's ending reveals Crabby's soft side, but thanks to the silly, resourceful rhymes, readers will understand well before then that the hen isn't in real danger from Crabby. The illustrations, while crudely cartoony, complement the action-packed text.
