Everyone knows the cool beans. They’resooooocool.

And then there’s the uncoolhas-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 #1New York Timesbestselling duo Jory John and Pete Oswald craft another incredible picture book, reminding us that it’s cooler to be kind.

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.  Cool beans indeed.John's good-hearted text makes [hay] with the bean puns...Oswald's pipe-stemmed limbs, googly eyes, and accessories give these anthropomorphic legumes lots of personality.as character-driven, pun-filled, and hilariously illustrated as its predecessors.Witty wordplay (“I was officially ahas-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.The last line [drives] the message home: all kids can be cool if they’re kind.
