“Where is my Bennie?” This is a young boy’s first question when he awakes from a nap to discover one of his most prized possessions missing: his stuffed blue bunny, Bennie. Bennie had been in his arms when Austin fell asleep – he can’t sleep without him – but is now nowhere to be found. With beautiful color illustrations and a fun, engaging story, Where is My Bennie? follows Austin and his grandpa as they try to solve the mystery of the missing bunny. Children will delight in knowing all along that while Austin was napping, his grandma and grandpa’s Brittany spaniel, Hunter, slipped into his room and snatched Bennie. Austin and Grandpa search everywhere. They find lots of missing things – Grandma’s slipper, Grandpa’s cup, Hunter’s bone – but no Bennie. Fortunately, Grandma arrives back from her trip to town just in time. She knows Hunter’s secret hiding places and, noticing that he looks a little guilty, decides to investigate his kennel. Sure enough, Grandma pulls Bennie from the stuffed-animal-loving dog’s cage. His ear is torn, but he is otherwise unscathed, and Grandpa, Grandma, Austin and Bennie all share a big group hug. Every small child has a favorite toy and can easily imagine how they would feel if it were lost. This personal relationship with the subject matter, along with the subtle mystery of Austin’s missing toy, Hunter’s visible involvement and the ultimately happy ending, makes "Where is My Bennie?" a delightful bedtime story for parents or grandparents to read to their children age 2-8.

With a full tummy and a quiet house, Austin was ready for his nap. Grandma knew how important Bennie was, so she unpacked him and handed him to Austin. Austin turned over during his nap and lost his grip on Bennie. Hunter sneaked up to the side of the bed. He spied Bennie on Austin’s arm. He tilted his head slowly from side to side. He was examining what he wanted to snatch. Hunter carefully climbed onto the bed. He gently moved in a crouching position. He quickly claimed the stuffed animal as his own. Hunter hid Bennie in a secret hiding place. No one saw Hunter’s actions. |
bathroom for the missing Bennie. They found a hand towel that Austin gave Grandma stuffed in the back of a drawer. “Grandma will be glad we found her towel!” Austin exclaimed. “I’ll wrap my scared Bennie up in it once we find him. We are going to find him? Right, Grandpa?” Austin trembled in fear as he spoke. They also looked in the dirty clothes hamper. Maybe Bennie got mixed in with the stinky, dirty clothes. Austin again asked, “Where is my Bennie?” |
