Where is My Bennie?
Young Boy Searches for Cherished Lost Toy in Delightful New Children’s Book
DALLAS, Texas – “Where is my Bennie?†This is a young boy named Austin’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. Join Austin and his grandpa as they set out on a frantic search for Bennie in Where is My Bennie? (published by AuthorHouse), the new children’s book by April, Celeste and Ruby Robins.
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:
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.
Austin and Grandpa search everywhere. They find lots of missing things – Grandma’s slipper, Grandpa’s cup, Hunter’s bone – but no Bennie. While looking outside, they find the bandanna that Austin had tied around Bennie’s neck to match his own, and Austin fears that Bennie has been taken into the woods and lost forever.
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.
