One cool friend book5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Our student reviewers report: (spoiler alert!) But it all begins to make sense when we notice these details. On the first run through one might miss how the clever illustrations hint at a very interesting ending. When Elliot’s father discovers Magellan, Elliot discovers that his eccentric father has his own secrets! Frozen seafood should be rationed! And the bathtub often needs to be a swimming pool for diving practice. Air conditioners need to work at maximum power. Life with a penguin means adjusting your routines some. So Elliot heads home from the Aquarium with his new friend Magellan the penguin in his backpack. He decided that he needed a penguin of his own and his father obliviously agrees. ![]() Keep an eye we did, as Elliot moved through the pages finding himself at the penguin display at the Aquarium where he was quite delighted to discover a number of penguins who looked quite a bit like him – proper in black and white with an air of importance. ![]() And my, oh my, did he have polite manners. Well, this book really proved that some books truly improve with re-reading!įirst of all, Elliot, the main character of this delightful book, is one dapper young man. It was the first time all year that some of the students had seen a BLG book before (I had read this title (borrowed from our VP) to a group about 2 months ago). ![]() Dan, our BLG reader this week, brought us One Cool Friend written by Toni Buzzeo and illustrated by David Small. ![]()
