Opinion:
Overall, I loved reading this book. I really liked that it was in graphic novel format, and the colorful drawings made me feel like I was reading a book of fun comics! Additionally, the graphic novel format made it a very quick and fun read, and despite being over 50 pages, I was able to read it in one sitting. Another thing I enjoyed was how the book was very lighthearted and funny, while also teaching some important messages! The book did a great job of showing how sharing secrets with others can make you feel better about them, and how sharing an awesome secret you know can help others feel happy as well! I liked how there were three different stories in this book, and each one taught the reader something different! Lastly, I really liked how all the characters in this book, especially Cookie and Broccoli, were very different from each other, but still were great friends! Overall, any reader would enjoy this book, especially elementary school-aged readers!
