Description
Calvin's dad Johnny Coconut is coming to town!
Calvin's dad is a famous pop singer, and he's going to be in a concert on the island! Everyone wants to go. Dad gave Calvin's mom 10 tickets, and Calvin has to decide who gets the last ticket: teacher's pet Shayla, who has a crush on him (ick!) or Tito the bully? But much more important: Calvin hasn't seen his dad in four years. And he's never met Dad's new wife. Will Dad still like Calvin now?

Advance Praise
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
