First cat, then cockatoo, and finally, pig each find the same pair of sunglasses. When they put them on, they instantly feel cool, which causes them to make some poor choices. Then Chick finds them and shows them that being yourself is the coolest thing to be. Amusing cartoon illustrations and frequent use of speech bubbles convey the subtle lesson that you don’t need to show off to have fun. A good readaloud for kindergarten and first grade. Also a good pick to give to certain kids – you know who they are!
