A Book For Benny

A Book for Benny

Judith Koppens & Marja Meijer

Sam likes to read books. On this particular day it happened to be raining. Curling up with a good book would be just perfect on a day like this. There’s just one little problem, her dog Benny wanted to play. In order to convince Benny books were fun Sam took him to the library, so he could choose a book of his own. Unfortunately, no dogs were allowed in the library. So, from a window Sam shared lots of books with Benny. He didn’t seem to like any of them. Finally, in a section of the library where cookbooks were shelved, Sam found a book and Benny jumped and barked and even licked the window. What type of book do you think it was?

This delightful story shares how books and friends are very important. Basic sentence structure along with simple yet colorful illustrations depict the storyline actions. Beginner readers will find that this book is easy and fun to read. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to teach literacy, friendship and even how to find favorite books on the shelves at the library.
