K-Gr 3—Benny the Bear falls off his tricycle and ends up in a hospital emergency room. As the story progresses, readers witness doctors and nurses providing him with continual care. The cub is soon his normal self again and is allowed to go home. This simple tale is easy to understand and has the potential to serve as a teaching tool as it provides an opportunity for children facing hospitalization to get a glimpse of what to expect. Illustrations are basic computer-generated images. The English text has a nice, clear block font while the Spanish text is in italics. The realistic, relevant story line and appealing bear characters will be appreciated by young audiences.—Rhonda Jeffers, Coweta Public Library System, Newnan, GA
