Benny sure is one talented dog. As a magician's assistant, he does magic tricks, tap dances, and can even escape from the Houdini Deathtrap while playing the harmonica. But when Benny upstages his magician master, he ends up in the doghouse and finds himself all alone in the world, with a serious case of the blues. Is there anyone, anywhere, who will give him the simple love he seeks?
Benny is an endearing pup I immediately fell for, after seeing him heading off down the railroad tracks with his things. The story is clever and the illustrations are heart-warming. Benny's adventures are realistic enough to engage everyone: his unfortunate firing from his job as a magician's assistant, to his finding a new family who loves him. This book is a thumb's up for all readers.
Another winner from Bob Graham

A wonderful book for the preschool set, with enough humor in both illustrations and text to appeal to the most jaded adult. Teaches lessons about accepting oneself and finding love. A great read-aloud -- Bob Graham does it again!
