AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!The "too-cool-for-school" third picture book from the #1 New York Times bestselling creators of The Bad Seed and The Good Egg, Jory John and Pete Oswald Everyone knows the cool beans. They' re sooooo cool. And then there' s the uncool has-bean . . . Always on the sidelines, one bean unsuccessfully tries everything he can to fit in with the crowd-until one day the cool beans show him how it' s done. With equal measures of humor, wit, and charm, the #1 New York Times bestselling duo Jory John and Pete Oswald craft another incredible picture book, reminding us that it' s cooler to be kind. Check out John and Oswald' s other books for children:The Bad SeedThe Good EggThat' s What Dinosaurs Do
This is a gentle, sweet story of how generosity and kindness are the true qualities to champion, and offers a great example for young readers and an important reminder for older readers. A strong addition to any collection. -- School Library Journal (starred review) Witty wordplay ("I was officially a has-bean") and silly gags in the digital and watercolor illustrations (The Great Gatsbean, A Midsummer Night' s Bean, Leguma Beach) help downplay the didacticism and up the cool factor. -- Horn Book Magazine Cool beans indeed. -- Kirkus Reviews Oswald' s pipe-stemmed limbs, googly eyes, and accessories give these anthropomorphic legumes lots of personality. -- Kirkus Reviews John' s good-hearted text makes [hay] with the bean puns. . . -- Kirkus Reviews as character-driven, pun-filled, and hilariously illustrated as its predecessors. -- Booklist The last line [drives] the message home: all kids can be cool if they' re kind. -- Booklist
