Fabulous Friends

A cautionary tale from the bestselling creator of the Cranky Bear books. Now in paperback! Popcorn is THE friendliest chicken at Fiddlesticks farm -- so friendly that she wins the annual prize for it . . . which she naturally gives away to someone who can use it more. She's just that nice of a bird. But when Popcorn finds a forgotten smartphone in the barn, she sets about making some brand new friends. Soon she is so busy sending messages to them that she begins to forget her old friends. When a meet-up with her new friends is about to end in disaster, the quick-thinking animals of Fiddlesticks Farm save the day . . . and one relieved chicken learns a lesson. The Fabulous Friend Machine is wry cautionary tale for these wired times, by the globally best-selling creator of the Cranky Bear books.
