The Big Cheese & Other Food Group Stories

Meet beans, cookies, grapes, and cheese with big personalities and even bigger hearts—these funny stories serve up laughs, life lessons, and lots to talk about after.

Get ready for four hilarious and heartwarming tales from Jory John and Pete Oswald’s bestselling Food Group series, where each story serves up big laughs and even bigger lessons about kindness, confidence, and staying true to yourself.

In The Cool Bean, an uncool has-bean learns that being cool isn’t about swagger or shades—it’s about being kind and being yourself. The Smart Cookie shows that feeling smart isn’t about getting everything right, but about finding your strengths and believing in yourself. The Sour Grape learns that holding grudges keeps you sour, but forgiveness and compassion can turn your day sweet. And in The Big Cheese, the best-at-everything cheese discovers a slice of humility when a quiet newcomer wins the Cheese-cathlon, learning there’s more to life than always being number one.

These witty, charming stories are perfect for kids who love humor with a side of heart—and lessons they’ll carry long after story time ends.
