Benton, Jim

The End (Almost)

(4) PS "Once there was a bear named Donut. And he burped. The end." Or so the narrator thinks, but Donut refuses to leave. Benton's playful page design leaves ample empty (yellow) space, as his cartoonish blue bear pokes his head from the side, trying to return. Young readers may enjoy Donut's silly attempts to prolong the story, which fizzles out at the end (really).
