What does the Pageticker team say about Toby and Pixies: How to Be Cool!?

How to Be Cool! is a gloriously silly fourth outing for Toby and his spectacularly unhelpful pixies. James Turner and Andreas Schuster combine bright comic artwork with fast-moving chaos, while Toby’s attempts to become ‘cool’ gently explore fitting in, friendship and being yourself. Best suited to children who enjoy visual storytelling, outrageous mishaps and humour with a generous helping of embarrassment.
