Ben Draws Trouble

(3) K-3 The star of Ben Rides On loves to draw, including not-always-flattering likenesses of his classmates. Unfortunately, his private sketchbook falls into their hands, but Davies cleverly subverts reader expectations of Ben's doom. There's a universality to Ben's plight: what grade-schooler isn't afraid that something private will be made public? The illustrations are artfully exaggerated, making Ben's caricatures all the funnier.
