Lyrical verse and colorful, engaging illustrations teach positive character traits (in this case: the value of telling the truth) in a lilting, playful manner that encourages multiple readings. Each Promise Book places Benji (and the unconditional love of every dog) in the role of being a conscience of sorts, so when the child - or even later the older child or adult - is about to tell an untruth, a line like “Would Benji tell a tale so tall, and make you feel so very small?” might be fondly (and effectively) remembered. Ages 4-8 years. |
