PERFECT STORY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR! A Christmas classic in the making,
By Betty L. Dravis "BETTY DRAVIS, author/reviewer" (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Benjamin P. Blizzard: Welcome to Christmastown (Perfect Paperback)
I haven't read a story about the North Pole since POLAR EXPRESS, so it was a delight at this time of year to read this charming story about a lovable, unforgettable bear cub.
The five-year-old cub is Benjamin Polarcap Blizzard, known as Benny by all who love this precocious little character ... and everybody loves him, especially his parents, Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves. Benny's parents have always dreamed of working with Santa Claus, so when a job opportunity comes along, they move to Christmastown. Benny misses his old friends but soon becomes friends with the Clauses and elves and starts on the most rambunctious adventures of his life. Benny is big for his age, with huge paws that make him clumsy; though everyone teases him about his clumsiness, they all adore him, and he knows it. Just wait till you read the charming scene where he gets in trouble in the toy shop and how Santa's positive attitude and good nature turn it into a "good" thing. And what happens when Benny falls asleep in Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve? How does he end up being the Christmas hero? And how does Santa use Rudolph's nose to send a message to Benny's parents? But that's getting ahead of the story and I certainly don't want to spoil it for you. All I can say is that I love Benny, and you and your kids will too. Kids will undoubtedly relate to his fun-loving nature, his clumsiness, and his penchant for getting into trouble. After all, that's what ALL the best kids are like, isn't it? Just ask Santa Claus! He understands kids better than anyone. Author Karen Nivens has created new, novel characters that will long be remembered by children around the world. And talented artist Jason Grisham has interpreted Nivens's characters with the most cheerful, colorful illustrations imaginable. Simply fantastic! This book leaves me with one question: After Benny, will Christmastown ever be the same? You be the judge. |
