Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In PW 's words, "Author and illustrator bring humor and rhapsodized zaniness to this story of misconceptions that lead to friendship. . . . The book has superior text, very hip and bright, with a finger-snapping rhythm." Ages 4-8.
Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From School Library Journal

Grade 1-2 ``Earl's got a hat with a real horse feather,/ He wears socks made of chicken leather./ Earl's too cool for me.'' A nerdy lad with small glasses and hair parted in the middle is sure that Earl's just too hip to be a friend, but when the two finally meet they hit it off``Yes, Earl's pretty funny, and he's really nice./ He's eight years old and only thrown up twice.'' The young narrator concludes, ``We're as cool as cool can be.'' In the slightly grotesque watercolor illustrations, a la Henrik Drescher, but with a clearer, less speckled look, adults and children surround Earl in admiring crowds. As in Annie Bananie (Harper, 1987) Komaiko takes a fresh look at a well-worn subject, but compared to Clifton's Everett Anderson's Friend (Holt, 1976; o.p.), the treatment here is awkward and superficial, the ending too quick and easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Cool Book - a review of "Earls' Too Cool for Me", August 11, 2005
This review is from: Earl's Too Cool for Me (Paperback)
Just saw this book read on "Between the Lions" five minutes ago. Way Cool. Gotta get it. The rhyme and rhythm is great (really catchy) and I think my two (3 & 5) are really going to like it in the text form too.

Four Stars. The pictures are bright and cheerful, and the imagery is creative and fun, and at this price, a good bargain. Be sure to look at the example pages to see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars uptempo and fun, January 27, 2004
This review is from: Earl's Too Cool for Me (Paperback)
The text and illustrations are wildly creative and make you laugh out loud with delight. Their imagination runs rampant and stimulates your own. I'm a grown up - if I loved it, kids will flip over it. It's jazzy and snazzy and has a sweet meaning; the subtle message is important for children to understand.
