review 1: After reading two AMAZING children's graphic novels, this one fell a bit short for me. The basic set-up is that Benny and Penny are two mice siblings with Benny being the older brother and Penny the younger sister.They are a bit harsh with each other and I think Benny gets off a little too easy for calling Penny names, but the illustrations are cute and the subject matter is certainly appropriate. Not contemplating any great mysteries here, just a game of pretend.
review 2: Not quite as good as the second Benny and Penny book; I think Hayes was smart to get rid of the authorial directions that are at the beginning and end of this title. The sibling interactions are definitely true to life, although I'm not a huge fan of Benny calling a Penny a cry-baby (which s... moreeems like it may be a recurring theme through the series). The illustrations look like they're done in colored pencil to me, although there's no note to confirm that. There's a softness to the style and color choices that give the illustrations a somewhat old-fashioned feel that adds to their appeal. An excellent choice for early readers, although I gravitate towards a little goofier, more broadly humorous titles myself. less
