Praise for Cookie & Broccoli: Ready for School! *Florida's Sunshine State Young Reader Award nominee* *Texas' Little Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List selection* Delightful, owing in no small part to Cookie and Broccoli's odd-couple chemistry. . . . A great start to a conversation between early elementary students and their grown-ups about kind, confident social interaction. -School Library Journal Praise for Cookie & Broccoli: Play It Cool *Texas' Little Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List selection* With nonstop silliness from start to finish, McMahon's second series entry offers yet another affirming lesson for school-age readers. . . . 'Fantabulously' cool. -Kirkus Reviews * This morality tale about popularity and influence takes a refreshing turn as Cucumber revels in his newfound freedom and Broccoli stresses out as the new leader of coolness. . . . Readers get a powerful, relatable lesson in the kind of coolness that matters: dismantling unfair systems for everyone's benefit. -School Library Journal, starred review
