Frank and Bean : food truck fiasco / Jamie Michalak ; illustrated by Bob Kolar.

Michalak, Jamie, (author.). Kolar, Bob, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Frank likes peace and quiet. He likes his tea, his book, and his yoga mat. He is just settling in to enjoy them, when . . . honk! honk! honk! Here comes Bean with his new food truck! It is fun on wheels! It's a rolling party! Bean is going to Food Truck Friday to sell his donuts. Bean's donuts have zip. They have zing. They are sure to win the competition! Frank has something to sell, too. He has oatmeal. Oatmeal is boring. It needs zip. It needs zing. What if Bean's donuts could help Frank's oatmeal? What if donuts and oatmeal could work together, just like friends? Dry wit meets stylish, comical artwork as introspective Frank and gregarious Bean return in a tale for anyone who likes food, unlikely friendships, and laugh-out-loud funny adventures" -- Provided by publisher.

Frank and Bean: Food Truck Fiasco

Kirkus Reviews


Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

In this odd-couple duo's second outing, kids see that things taste better when shared with friends. Frank, a hot dog health nut sporting glasses and a hat, is chill, from his cup of tea to his yoga mat to his book (Art of Chill, natch). Bean, a kidney bean in a new hat and apron matching his new food truck, could not be more exuberant about his new business selling donuts: "This is fun on wheels….This is a rolling party." The pair's ideas about yummy donut toppings are also very different: pickles(!) versus candy. Frank agrees to meet nervous Bean at Food Truck Friday to show his support against Mad Dog, who wins every food competition she enters. But Frank's solution--his own booth hocking plain oatmeal--is questionable. It lacks the "zip" and "zing" that Bean knows food needs. But when Frank's Zen meets Bean's zip and zing, friendship bowls are the result, and they are a hit, winning the duo first place. Kolar has nailed facial expressions for his main characters, and the sly humor in the illustrations will tickle the funny bones of those savvy enough to spy it. The four chapters are broken up into medium-length sentences that balance repetition and humor while building kids' reading skills. Load up on zip and zing: Oatmeal mornings will never be the same again. (Early reader. 5-8) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
