Summary:
Ben
was upset when his friend Peter moved away, but now the new neighbors are moving in across the street and
Ben
can't wait to go say hello and make friends. That is, until he notices that this family has a pet dog; and unlike his sister and brother,
Ben
isn't so sure around dogs. The big jaws and big teeth make him nervous. But what
Ben
doesn't realize is that Max is an "old
scaredy-dog
" who feels nervous too. Can
Ben
overcome his fear and come to see eye-to-eye with a new kind of friend? The award-winning team that produced A+ for Big
Ben
and
Ben
Says Goodbye have come together once again in
Ben
and the
Scaredy-Dog
, a heart-warming story about a thoughtful yet anxious boy who overcomes his fear of dogs. Sarah Ellis highlights the all-too-common childhood dread of canines as she once again explores the world through the eyes of
Ben
, a boy who wants to be brave but just can't help anticipating the worst when it comes to a new experience. Kim La Fave perfectly captures his characters' thoughts and intentions through spot-on expressions and body language, as he contrasts
Ben
's drawings of the creature he sees in his mind's eye with the reality of the big and cuddly dog next door, who just happens to have his own fear issues. The result is a gently funny book that explores the courageous heart that can be found within an anxious child.
