Product Description Praise for Philippe Coudray's Benjamin Bear series: "A visually formatted joke book to inspire thinking as well as laughs."Kirkus Reviews "A marvel of economy in setup, delivery, and payoff."Booklist, starred review "This book rewards what six-year-olds are already good at (scrutiny), encourages a new skill (reading), and enlarges the imagination (heaven)."The Horn Book, starred review Benjamin Bear can always surprise his friends, whether it's by walking on his hands during a snowstorm or by using a tree as a parachute. This unassuming bear may at first seem down-to-earth, but his ideas are always out of this world. His zany approach to life has earned him two Eisner Award nominations and bestseller status among kids everywhere. In the third book about Benjamin's adventures, author Philippe Coudray continues to delight readers by bending the rules of common sense and breaking the laws of physics. Pull up a chair, grab a friend, and open your mindtoday's forecast is for BRAIN STORMS! Philippe Coudray loves drawing comics, and his many children's books are often used in the schools of his home country of France. His work was chosen by students to win the prestigious Angoulême Prix des Écoles. His first two books in English, Benjamin Bear in Fuzzy Thinking and Benjamin Bear in Bright Ideas, were both nominated for the Eisner for Best Publication for Early Readers. From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—Benjamin Bear is back for more gags and jokes that will make kids think and laugh out loud. Whether Benjamin Bear is teaching math or logic, waiting for a date, or navigating across mountains, he is always hilarious, and each one-page comic delivers a fun and sometimes-whimsical payoff. Kids will enjoy revisiting each page over and over and sharing the jokes with their friends. The zany humor paired with single page comics makes this an imaginative read. VERDICT A must-have for early readers who would like to try a graphic novel or comic.—Krishna Grady, Darien Library, CT Review Texas Library Association Little Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List 2016 "Unlocking what makes each strip funny―which is often purely visual and sharply unexpected―will reward bright kids with odd-shaped funny bones, and the added element of picking up some new vocabulary in the process is pure icing on the cake. For any kids who get in on the jokes, this one should have great replay value." - Booklist "A visually formatted joke book to inspire thinking as well as laughs." - Kirkus Reviews "Another fine installment in this idiosyncratic series.” - The Horn Book "A must-have for early readers who would like to try a graphic novel or comic." - School Library Journal "Any reader of any age should be able to read and enjoy Coudray’s Benjamin Bear books. When a comic is this accomplished, more is always welcome." - School Library Journal Good Comics for Kids "Each strip ends with a gag that bends the rules of common sense or breaks the laws of physics. Most, though, are laugh-out-loud funny.
