The creators of Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise show that dark shades and daring antics don't necessarily lead to instant coolness in a giggle-worthy send-up of trying too hard.
Look what Cat found on the playground! Sliding backward down the slide in these sunglasses is sure to make her look cool with extra cool on top . . . uh-oh! Of course, Cockatoo's dancing on top of the seesaw wearing the glasses will definitely make him too cool for school . . . oh no! How about Pig's standing up on the swing in the coveted shades? Drawn in by the silly story and the bold, graphic illustrations, kids will laugh out loud at the comeuppance of the animal poseurs and cheer for the savvy little chick who shows that coolness comes from just having regular old fun.
'For the child worried about keeping up playground appearances, How to Be Cooler than Cool by Sean Taylor is a reminder that the coolest thing is to be yourself.' - The Daily Telegraph
'My 5 year really likes this book. He was laughing all the way through. The illustrations are nice. My boy loved looking at the pictures.' Toppsta
'How to be Cooler than Cool is a simple story with an important, positive message about self-image, told with lots of humour and colourful, engaging illustrations. The combination of striking slapstick images and accompanying colloquial language is funny and will appeal to young readers. Yet, the book gives clear messages about being ourselves, rather than projecting an image of something we are not.' -- Jacqueline , Just Imagine
