Get Well, Crabby!

Oh no! Crabby doesn’t feel well, and Plankton is determined to play doctor. But Plankton’s ideas aren’t always the most helpful. He takes his own temperature, wraps Crabby in bandages, and caters to Crabby’s increasingly outrageous demands. Will Crabby get better before Plankton finally loses his cool? 

Beginning readers will fall in love with Plankton’s enthusiasm and Crabby’s grumpiness. This easy-to-follow, silly plot comes to life in the brightly colored artwork that appears on every page. The pages are broken into colorful panels, which makes it easy for readers to follow along. Get Well, Crabby is perfect for children who are learning to read. The text uses simple sentences and easy vocabulary, and the speech bubbles are color-coded to distinguish each speaker. Each page contains five or fewer sentences, which makes the story accessible to new readers.   

Get Well, Crabby shows how Plankton tries to help Crabby while he is ill. Readers will giggle when Plankton protects himself against Crabby’s snotty sneeze and bandages Crabby’s entire body. Crabby, in his usual style, goes a little overboard when Plankton offers to help. Crabby asks Plankton to wash the dishes, mow the lawn, and take out the trash. A clam and a nurse shark make a short appearance and they both add humor. As part of Scholastic’s early reader line, Acorn, the Crabby Series makes learning to read fun.
