Sandra Boynton is a popular American humorist, songwriter, children's author and illustrator. Boynton has written and illustrated more than forty books for both children and adults, as well as over four thousand greeting cards, and four music albums.

Gr 2-3-An amusing addition to beginning-reader collections. Bobby North, a polar bear, makes friends with Siggy, Derek, Harry, and other animal students in his new school. When he realizes that Harry is the coolest kid there, he wants to be more like him. However, as kids will discover, his desire to fit in can take its toll on even the most determined. Bobby has a lot of catching up to do to reach Harry's state of "coolness" so he takes up skateboarding, the harmonica, and soccer. And, most importantly, he reads "cool books." Some of his friends question his coolness and he's invited to Harry's party to prove himself. Bobby tries to display his skateboarding talents but crashes. Back at school, the kids tease him but Harry remains his friend at the end. The text is accompanied by pictures of humorous, lovable characters in pleasing colors. Chapters range from three to four pages in large, well-spaced print. This book should warm the hearts of cool young readers.
