STAY, BENSON by Thereza Rowe is a light-hearted
romp as readers follow a dog named Benson on a day of adventure.
When Flick
leaves for school, she tells Benson to “stay and watch the house. No chasing.”
But Benson escapes out the back door and the chase is on. Pursuit of a cat in
the garden leads to a squirrel in a tree, a ball on the playground, and
ultimately to snatching a snack from a picnic in the park…and all just in time
to slip back into the house one step ahead of Flick, who remains unaware of
Benson’s behavior.
Young
readers will enjoy knowing they are part of the secret trick that Benson plays
on Flick. The book further enhances
reader fun with bold images, strong primary colors, and cleverly designed
cut-outs that pull readers from one page to the next as they follow Benson’s
escapade.
