Benny and Penny in Just Pretend: Toon Books Level 2

This is a delightful story of an older brother not wanting his younger sister to play with him. At first I thought I wouldn't like an early-reader type story told in graphic book form, but this won me over with its plot, illustrations, and the characters of Benny and Penny. Young children will identify with Benny and Penny and will be delighted in the outcome.

I am a mom of three daughters and I love these books! My 1st and 2nd grader read this series and the characters are wonderful.

It is good to find some books for kids. It is in very good condition. will check and buy other books in the future.

My kids love this. Will be good for when learning to read. Fun, filled with illustrations. Better than a storybook. It's basically a comic book.

I bought this for my granddaughter (age 6) and she thought it was the most fun to read!

I love these cute books. My grandchildren are very motivated to read these.

Cute pictures, but a horrible story. The characters treat each other horrible and Benny calls penny "a dumb sister." Dumb is offensive and an ableist slur. I will not support these books and like the level one but off to find a different series. Do not want my children learning from these stories. Disappointing.

great series

This time around I'm reviewing the first three books published in this series of graphic novels for emergent readers. The struggling reader (8yo) enjoyed the others so much we went out and bought the first three. So he has now read the entire line of Toon Books and anxiously awaits the publication of the next set.They are around 30-odd pages each and first published April 2008.This book is in the mid-range for reading level of the suggested ages, aprrox. RL 1-2. Benny and Penny have been in another book of the series and they are a fun brother and sister pairing. In this book Benny wants to play pirates and just wants Penny to leave him alone. He isn't very nice to her. But by the end he has learnt his lesson and they are friends together and Benny learns sometimes little sisters can play "boy" stuff too!
