Calvin Coconut: Kung Fooey





Calvin Coconut says: "Kung fu is fun! Bullies beware!" in the sixth book about Hawaii's fourth-grade "everyboy."

Calvin Coconut's fourth-grade class meets Benni Obi, a weird and likable new kid. Benny brags about knowing kung fu, eats worms, crickets, and chocolate-covered scorpions, and says all the wrong things to bully Tito. Uh-oh. Meanwhile, neighborhood kids and pets clear the road—Calvin's babysitter Stella is learning how to drive. She's got a lead foot.

Readers will enjoy the humor in Kung Fooey as Calvin's smarts and courage help him learn something new about standing up for friends, and facing a bully.

Praise for Calvin Coconut: Kung Fooey

Praise for Calvin Coconut: Kung Fooey:

"Salisbury offers gentle wisdom and understanding, helping Calvin--and readers--realize the importance of respect, tolerance, and standing up for oneself and one's friends. Expressive black-and-white illustrations add humor and are generously sprinkled throughout. The straightforward writing style, distinct characters, and now-requisite 'Hawaii' and 'Calvin' facts are sure to please readers. This is another strong entry in a winning series that can be enjoyed as a stand-alone read."--School Library Journal
