Bookroo's summary

On the playground, Cat, Cockatoo, and Pig each try to outdo one another with daring stunts and a pair of sunglasses, hoping to achieve ultimate coolness. But their antics lead to unexpected mishaps. Meanwhile, a clever chick shows that true coolness comes from simply enjoying oneself. Will the animals learn that being genuine is the real key to being cool? This playful tale, filled with humor and vibrant illustrations, invites kids to laugh at the antics and discover the joy of being themselves.

From the publisher

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.
