Know what's not cool? A lot of bad and lazy bean puns.
LibraryThing member MickyFine
Our main character here is not a cool bean. He used to be friends with some coooool beans but they've grown apart. Will our bean learn what it truly is to be cool?

Another lovely and subtle tale that teaches kids being kind and supporting others is what truly makes you cool. Again the illustrations

The seed books are really good with puns and playing on common words and phrases. This time they take a jab at “cool beans”. This book is about the cool beans in school, and how one lonely bean feels left out. It is a great lesson in what actually makes someone cool. It’s a bit long for story
