Benny: An Adventure Story

26 pp. | Candlewick | May, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0813-0 $$16.99
(3) K-3 A smart little dog, Benny is a bit too good as a magician's assistant and gets the boot by his envious boss. The forlorn pup hops a train to the countryside, where he performs to unappreciative audiences. After many travels, he finally finds himself a home, with a music-loving family. The cartoonish watercolors shift in mood from somber to sunny as Benny searches for his place in life.
