I'm Cool! (Kate and Jim Mcmullan)

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 we’re being honest here, I bought this book more for myself than for my infant. I was always fascinated with Zambonis when I was a kid, so I took having my own kid as an opportunity to learn about them. It’s a super cute book featuring banter between a hockey announcer and a Zamboni machine. It is best read aloud by someone who can do different voices for the announcer and the Zamboni. The illustrations are fun, and the text is entertaining. I highly recommend for anyone whose kid likes big vehicles, or for anyone with kids who has even a passing interest in Zambonis.

Fun, engaging, and well-researched. This is one of Kate and Jim McMullan's best, right up there with I Stink, I'm Dirty, I'm Brave, and I'm Mighty. Second-tier books are I'm Fast, I'm Tough, and I'm Big. Not worth getting are I'm Bad and I'm Smart.

My 2 year old grandson’s favorite thing to do is watch the Zamboni clear the ice between periods when his big brother skates ..... he loves this book - SCORE !!!!!

Kate has done it again...another wonderful "I'M....." book. St. Louis is a hockey...O.K. - baseball as well...town and this book is a fun bedtime read for the youngest hockey players...both boys and girls!! Way to go Kate and Jim!!

My boys (2 and 4) love all the books in this collection. As hockey fans, this one is even more exciting for them. They are fun for the kids and also fun to read!

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!

My son is obsessed with Zamboni's and it's one of his favorite books. Very cute story especially for kids that like hockey and Zambonis
