Reviews
"In this Dutch and Belgian import, a tiny dog yearns to swim, but his owner says he must take lessons first. Benny, a diminutive blue canine with distinctive whiskers, really wants to jump into the lake on a hot, summer day. But Sam, a determined young gal with disheveled pigtails, declares that he must first pass a swim test. After all, that is what she had to do. (She proudly shows him her swim certificate.) She decides to take him to the pool for lessons. Alas, the swimming instructor says no. Sam isn't deterred. "I think I know why the teacher sent you away. You're not wearing a bathing suit. No one can go into the pool with a bare bottom!" She quickly squeezes him into a pair of polka-dot swim trunks (Benny's uncertain expression says it all). But he's turned away again. Will Benny ever swim in the lake? In Meijer's friendly, informal cartoons, bright colors and stable compositions give an atmosphere of optimism to plucky, earnest Sam's plight. The story is quite linear and obvious to those in the know, but for readers who don't have dogs, it could be a shocking discovery. The majority of the students in the class, Sam included, appear white, although some have slightly darker skin, and the swimming instructor has brown skin and curly black hair. A testament of true friendship. " - Kirkus Reviews Praise for the first Sam & Benny book A Book For Benny : "Stories about going to the library on a rainy day are not new, but this one has a cunning twist....kids will enjoy the playfulness and, no doubt, try reading to their own dogs." - Kirkus Reviews "17 Picture Books Not To be Missed. In this story Benny the puppy wants to play, but Sam is intent on reading her book. Can she find the perfect book for Benny to convince him to read with her?" - Book Nerd Mommy "Judith Koppens' endearing story about a little girl who wants to share her love of reading with her pet will enchant animal lovers and may inspire some child/furry friend reading time at home. Benny's humorous displays of disapproval and approval will have kids giggling, and the book that Benny ultimately chooses will be appreciated with a laugh by dog owners.

A testament of true friendship. " - Kirkus Reviews "Gr 2-In this Dutch import, a young girl is worried because her dog wants to jump in the lake on a hot day but he hasn't had any swimming lessons. Since she has earned her "swim certificate," she takes Benny to the pool where she learned to swim. The swim coach refuses to let her pup in the pool, and she think it's because he's not wearing swim trunks. She states, "No one can go in the pool with a bare bottom!" After she puts him in swim trunks, the coach again informs her that the dog can't participate. She then believes Benny simply needs a bathing cap. What she eventually learns about her dog is quite a surprise to her, and she becomes filled with pride at having such a talented pet. Though most youngsters will already know what the child learns, they will thoroughly enjoy seeing the illustrations of Benny dressed up in his trunks, swim cap and floatation aids wrapped around his lower body as he awaits his instructions. The charming cartoon-style illustrations are filled with color, and the girl's concern for her dog's safety is endearing. VERDICT This delightful story about a girl and her dog will appeal to young readers. Recommended for purchase. " - School Library Journal

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
