Ben & Zip: Two Short Friends

Ben and Zip are at the boardwalk. They are looking for popcorn. The sky turns black. Lightening! Thunder! Zip runs off. Ben looks for Zip. All he sees are knees. He goes on a bench. All he sees are bellies. (The awesomest page in the world! I love the belly picture. There is a kid looking at his own belly button.) Ben runs and climbs on a table to look for Zip. He just sees hair. (My favorite hair is the Grandma’s – and the Grandpa’s.) Ben climbs up a ladder to the lifeguard stand. He sees nothing, just birds. Everyone ran away, because it’s raining. (I have a question: why did they leave everything and just run away?) Then Ben sees the popcorn stand from the ladder. He goes to the popcorn stand. He hears Zip. Will Ben find Zip? Read the book to find out. The pictures are cute! The parents running after Ben are funny. (They are slow. “Excuse me, we’re trying to catch you here.”) This book is good. I can read this book myself.
