Promotional Details

Oswald's pipe-stemmed limbs, googly eyes, and accessories give these anthropomorphic legumes lots of personality. - Kirkus Reviews

  Cool beans indeed. - Kirkus Reviews

John's good-hearted text makes [hay] with the bean puns... - Kirkus Reviews

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. - School Library Journal (starred review)

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

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
