Book Description

October 11, 2008
Benny Pig doubts his self-worth because he can't do the things that the family dog can do. But when his friend Mary is trapped in a well with no help in sight, Benny has to find a way to save her.

This book is the second book in the animal series. Pig is one of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Lin's first book of the animal series is Tiger! Tiger! Tail on Fire!


Editorial Reviews

Review

... a heartwarming tale in which children of all ages will be rooting for Benny the underdog...or underpig! --Publisher of Great South Bay Magazine

This book shows children that it's O.K. if they can't do everything other children can do. The important thing is that they try their best to do what matters. A good book to build self-esteem. --Publisher's Notes

Whimsically creative with a message of courage and belief that, Yes we can! Yes we can do anything we set our minds to do.
Though written for children, it is also a reminder to any parent reading to their child. A reminder to always encourage a child that they can BE and DO anything, and as a parent we then must live by that example.
Benny Pig and Mary are both heroes in this sweet story. Mary for believing in Benny Pig and never doubting him, and Benny Pig for his originative life-saving technique and the will to never give up! Bravo!!

I am a big fan of Lin's work. You should check out all of her books since her body of work is excellent. The story is great for reading and didactic for the younger audience. If you are a grown up the lessons give you pause for thought. I have given copies of Lin's books to my friends and they have universally been well received. Looking forward to the next one...
