His teachers don't always appreciate his offtopic\u003cbr\u003epictures of sharks, spaceships, and dinosaurs. One afternoon, he loses his sketchbook. Distraught,\u003cbr\u003eBen arrives at school the next morning and finds his classmates looking at his drawings. His teacher leafs\u003cbr\u003ethrough the book, lingering over an exaggerated portrait of himself. Next, he silently leads the boy to the\u003cbr\u003eauditorium, where he asks him to design the sets for the school play. The concluding illustration shows\u003cbr\u003eBen smiling as his 20-foot-tall sharks steal the show. Through the succinct text and emotionally charged\u003cbr\u003eillustrations, children will feel Ben's panic and anguish over losing his sketchbook, his fear of punishment\u003cbr\u003efor the caricatures, and his satisfaction at the happy ending. The ink drawings, washed with gentle colors,\u003cbr\u003eare full of energy and expression. Davies, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, also wrote and\u003cbr\u003eillustrated Ben Rides On (2013), which features the same lovably scruffy character.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781596437951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Roaring Brook Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40595343442126,"sku":"9781596437951","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_eaee6542-f8ea-49cb-9e50-d51c7422b125.jpg?v=1637828933","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781596437951","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
