Kirkus Review
The cool beans again step up to do a timorous fellow legume a fava…this time at the pool. Will a rash decision to tackle the multistory super-slide lead to another embarrassing watery fail for our shy protagonist? Nope, for up the stairs right behind comes a trio of cool beans, each a different type and color, all clad in nothing but dark shades. They make an offer: "It's not as scary if you go with friends!" As the knobby nerd explains once the thrilling ride down is done, "They all realized that I just needed some encouragement and support." Just to make sure that both cool and uncool readers get the message, the narrator lets us know that "there are plenty of kind folks who have my back. They're always there when I need them." The beany bonhomie doesn't end at the bottom of the slide, with all gliding down to the shallow end of the pool ("3 INCHES. NO DIVING") for a splashy finale. This latest early reader starring characters from John and Oswald's immensely popular Food Group series will be a hit with fans. Fun accessories, such as a bean who rocks pink cat-eye frames, add some pizzazz to the chromatically and somatotypically varied cast. Another quirky take on the series theme that it's cool to be kind. (Easy reader. 5-7) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
