Paisley & Peck: Jurassic Farm

Ages 6 to 9, Grades 1 to 2

A riotous new graphic novel series following two misfit barnyard friends Paisley is not only a neat and tidy pig. He’s also a foodie who refuses to eat slop and dreams of becoming a food critic. Peck is an enthusiastic chick who is not a morning bird and refuses to grow up to be the farm’s alarm clock. When Peck learns that chickens evolved from dinosaurs, he’s delighted! He might not have to become a rooster, after all—instead, he can grow up to be a Ty-rooster-saurus rex! But when Peck goes Jurassic and starts to take his new “career” a little too seriously, Paisley and the other farm animals realize they might have created a monster … With lots of laughs and a heartfelt message about being true to yourself, Paisley & Peck: Jurassic Farm is a winning first installment in a new graphic novel series about a pig and a chick who grapple with the self-discovery, rebellion, and awkwardness that comes with growing up.
