Ben Rides On
by Matt Davies
My 4 yr old had a passionate response to this book but not in a positive way. He told me he hated the book and to never ,ever read it again. Ooooookay,then. So, I read it to myself. It's a simple story about a bully taking a kids bike with a nice but unrealistic ending. But hey...the unrealistic ending might give kids the mention to believe that there's good in everyone and everything will work out ok when someone does a mean thing.
I tried to pinpoint what my kid hated so much about the book and I think it's the illustrations. My teenager described the illustration of the main character as "creepy" and added, "He looks like a 30 year old stoner."
And the bully reminds me of John Goodman, so that's kinda sad.
