One Impossibly Cool Friend Before Breakfast (on Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast)

February 7th, 2012 by jules


Picture books with really successful bah-dum-ching, final-page punchlines are hard to pull off, but here’s one that does it well.


Toni Buzzeo’s One Cool Friend, illustrated by Caldecott medalist David Small, was released by Dial in early January. I am loathe to ruin the ending for you before you read it yourself, so this post may seem kind of vague if you haven’t read it yet. But I enjoyed it and want to feature it, not to mention David is here to share some early sketches (and final images) from the book, and Toni is visiting as well. I’ve got my coffee cups all set out, don’t you know.

First things first, though: A brief summary. Meet Elliot, pictured left. Yes, he’s dapper, isn’t he?

Click here to read the complete feature on today's Seven Impossible Things before Breakfast. Enjoy!
