As a children's librarian, I know how popular these authors previous books in this series have been with preschoolers. I Stink was about a garbage truck, and I'm Dirty was told from the point of view of a construction vehicle. This time in I'm Cool, we hear from a Zamboni. The hockey game is not going well because the ice is in terrible shape. The players are tripping over the ruts. Finally, the period ends and the Zamboni comes out on the rink to fix the ice. The PA announcer doubts that the Zamboni has no doubts. He explains to the reader/listener how he gets the job done. There is just enough information to explain how a Zamboni works, without going over the head of a young child. The illustrations are bright and bold. I have no doubt this picture book will be as popular as it's predecessors. I'm hoping that --like the other books in this series--Scholastic/Weston Woods will bring this book to DVD. Highly recommend, especially for boys who like hockey or trucks.
If you watch or take part in any type of sport played on the ice you have seen this unique machine doing maintenance on the ice. The Zamboni has a hard job to do but it's made to do just that, a hard job. The book gives details on how the equipment works with out being to deep or boring. A good choice for kids that like books about transportation and moving machines.
I'm a children's librarian and love Kate McMullan's books. They are fun read-alouds and boys especially love them. I'm Cool is one of my favorites because my 4-year-old grandson is a big hockey fan.
It's a great book for little kids to learn what the Zamboni does. My son's family enjoys watching hockey. My grandson is drawn to sports so enjoys the book. Buy it!
