Ben Has Something to Say: A Story about Stuttering

32 pp. | Whitman | October, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-0633-8 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Ritz. Ben, who stutters, is reluctant to talk, but he courageously speaks up--stutter and all--to save a friendly but ineffective guard dog from the pound. Lears tells Ben's story with a light touch, and the illustrations are expressive, if occasionally awkward. The book lists helpful organizations and includes a note explaining "myths about stuttering."
