This is my favorite book in this series so far. The complexity in this story makes it a great book to teach many different skills to students. It also resonates with older elementary students. I used this in my 4th grade class to discuss what makes someone cool. It lead to great conversation and one of the messages from the book being that a true cool bean is kind to friends. We also discussed the importance of being kind because you never know the impact a kind act that may appear small can have on the recipient. The last lesson we learned from this book was about the lasting impact of friendships, and that even though you may drift apart because of different interests you can still maintain a connection and be there for each other. This book is awesome. I love the illustrations and the wonderful story.

Perfect book series!

Format: Hardcover

This book series is incredible! There are several and they are all so smartly written and the illustrations are both fun and cute. As a former teacher, I love books that teach life lessons and this series is all about being kind, not always needing to fit in and how to make yourself feel good so you can make others feel good.
