The Cool Bean

The Chickpea wants to be cool like the Cool Beans. The Cool Beans consist of a Kidney Bean, a Black Bean and a Lima Bean. The Chickpea used to be friends with them, but they stopped playing with each other. One day the Cool Beans start helping out the Chickpea. The Chickpea drops his lunch, and the Black Bean helps him pick up his lunch. Then he trips, and the Kidney Bean helps him. Then he isn’t listening to his teacher, and everyone is laughing at him. The Lima Bean tells him what to do. Then they all start out hanging out with each other again. I really like how the Chickpea is soooo cute! I love his cute bow-tie and giant sunglasses. I really like the illustrations. I also like the story because it is about friendship. I highly recommend this book to kids who like stories about kindness and friendship.
