ARLO & PIPS YR HC GN (2025)

"With his giant-size brain, Arlo the crow can do amazing things! Thank goodness for his pal, Pips, who can remind him not to be such a show-off! Moving to the big city sure can be hectic for a crow on his own. Everywhere you turn-noisy humans, lots of litter, and plenty of competition for French fries! Fortunately, Arlo is a crow with some impressive tricks up his sleeve: big brain, great ideas, and a new pal named Pips, who helps Arlo discover the city, the beach, and the biggest collection of shiny things ever. This first book in a series of graphic chapter books for fans of Narwhal and Jellyfish offers adventure, fun, and lots of great bird facts-each marked with a star on the page. From acclaimed author-illustrator Elise Gravel."

Pips is a great pal, but Arlo feels a little lonely without any crow friends. After all, crows are supposed to be with other crows. So when Pips encourages him to make some friends, he never expects to meet a crow like MARLA.  She's super smart, lots of fun, and she  knows amazing tricks from her time in a lab! Has Arlo met his match? Each book features three comic chapters and fascinating facts in the footnotes! Arlo & Pips #1: King of the Crows is and Indie Next Pick for Fall 2020, the Kids' Top Pick from HarperCollins Canada, and has received a starred review from Kirkus, who called it "a charming treasure."
