Benny and Penny in Just Pretend #[nn]

Geoffrey Hayes brings his warmly detailed color-pencil artwork to this delightful TOON Book, where two young mouse siblings find themselves at an impasse over imaginative play. The cover says it all: a cape-wearing Benny charges forward wielding a toy sword, declaring "You can't play!" at little Penny, who sits contentedly in a pink inflatable pool clutching a jolly-roger flag and a stick, with rubber ducks bobbing nearby. Small vignettes along the top hint at fairy tales and pirate adventures, perfectly capturing the spirited world of make-believe these two are about to navigate together.
