![]() ![]() ![]() Kolar's digitally rendered full-color illustrations take the jokes one step further, offering expressive physical cartoon comedy that's on a par with Michalak's clever wordsmithing.Beanie weenies served just right for young campers. The Bert-and-Ernie-esque odd-couple pairing results in countless laugh-out-loud exchanges. Hand this to fans of silly, offbeat stories. Mismatched friendships are a staple of early readers, but Bean’s boundless cheerful energy, his habit of speaking in all caps, and the concept of anthropomorphic food set this book apart. The humor is absurd, over-the-top, and laugh-out-loud funny. An engaging and humorous tale of two friends whose personality differences lead to growth as well as some fun adventures. Kolar’s digital art is clean and pleasing, and the book contains four short chapters. Kolar’s ( Trucker and Train) sleek, animation-style digital art and Michalak’s (the Joe and Sparky series) highly performative dialogue build to a manic hilarity that makes these pals, as Bean might say, “half cool and half amazing.” ![]()
