Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis 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
