review 1: Much as I loved "Danny the Dinosaur", I sure wish the Toon Books had been around when I was learning to read. Engaging and concerned about the things kids care about (toys, stinky monsters, favorite colors,)they are as fun as they are attractive. The books incorporate proper comic formatting with the controlled vocabulary associated with easy reader, to create a reading experience that is kid friendly, level appropriate--everything one could want from a book designed to snag fans.In this installment, mice siblings Benny and Penny want to search for buried treasure. But first they have to deal with Cousin Bo, who has the annoying habit of breaking all their toys. Bo reminds me of the rather excitable Wendell from Kevin Henke's "Weekend with Wendell," who is oblivious to the... more havoc he wreaks. He just wants to play! A satisfying resolution is guaranteed, along with a healthy dose of physical comedy. With two titles in their catalog recognized as Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor Books--and one Geisel winner--the Toon books are in a fabulous position to amuse and educate young readers for some time to come.
review 2: Reason for Reading: My son read aloud to me as his reader.Summary: Benny and Penny have just got everything all prepared to play pirate treasure map when their mom announces that cousin Bo has arrived to play. Cousin Bo wrecks everything so Benny and Penny quickly hide all the toys they can see, including their newly made treasure map. At first B & P don't want to play with Bo, then Bo finds a few toys, breaking them, then he finds the map and takes off with it and a chase pursues with everyone becoming rather rude to one another, both sides end up with troubles, apologies are made and then they find a game to play where nothing can get broken.Comments: This book is just at the level for my struggling reader where he almost has no problems at all. He can pretty much fly through the reading with only a few stumbles. Even though he is a bit older that the intended age he finds the antics of Benny and Penny comic and doesn't feel like the book is too young for him at all. He has read the other Benny and Penny books and I think this one may just be his favourite as he certainly had a lot of fun with the story. Myself, I can't say enough good things for any Toon Book. I've never been disappointed yet. This, like all the rest, is engaging, funny, and entices my struggling reader to want to read more than I ask of him in a sitting. A good read and a fun story. less
