What Are You Doing, Benny?
by Cary Fagan (Author) and Kady MacDonald Denton (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Benny’s little brother is really good at a lot of things — making potions and paper airplanes, building forts, putting on puppet shows, even petting the neighbor’s cat (he has a special way of scratching her just behind the ears). But whenever he tries to join in Benny’s activities, all Benny ever says is “No.” Maybe his little brother can watch him do cool stuff, if he’s lucky. What is a little fox to do, except give Benny a taste of his own medicine? This picture book is illustrated with panels of many sizes like a comic.
Snippet: Benny!
Hey, Benny!
What are you doing, Benny? Making a paper airplane?
I’m a genius at making paper airplanes. I have a special way of bending the wings up at the tips.
It makes them soar and swoop and then land perfectly.
So can I help, Benny?
No, said Benny.
