What's cool, anyway? Skateboards, pizza, arcade games--and being kind!
This buoyant young graphic chapter book introduces Duck and pals,
kicking off a series that makes real-life friendship issues fun.
Duck is feeling pretty good about himself. He can flip on a skateboard,
and he's a great friend, too. Then Cat comes along and seems so cool,
with his high scores on video games--but Cat also does some mean stuff
nobody likes! Then Cat gets caught up a tree and needs help. In three
short chapters, perfect for readers just gaining confidence, Duck and
his pals show Cat that being cool includes helping others and not
dissing your friends. Each character has a distinct way of speaking, and
readers will love learning how to read and pronounce entertaining slang
expression from the fifties and other "cool" eras.
Hippo Park graphic chapter books are ideal for beginning and newly
independent readers, with approachable page counts, easy-to-follow
paneling, and artwork that supports text comprehension.
