Perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly, Arlo & Pips: King of the
Birds is the first in a new early graphic chapter book series about the
friendship between Arlo, an arrogant crow, and a sarcastic little bird
named Pips.
Like most crows, Arlo has a big brain. But Arlo has something else: a
little pal who's not afraid to tell him when he's being insufferable!
In the first of three episodes, a battle of the brains and bird-to-bird
banter soon turns into an unexpected friendship. Arlo and Pips'
adventures include a visit the big city and the beach on their hunt for
shiny things and French fries. Cool crow facts are included throughout
the book.
Everyone's crowing about Arlo & Pips, with Kirkus praising it as "a
perfect match for newly independent readers"!

three short graphic chapters marked by [Gravel's] signature sly humor,
facts about crows are sprinkled throughout, making the reader believe
that maybe crows are truly as amazing as Arlo says." --The Horn Book
