Benjamin Bear, the title character of the BENJAMIN BEAR IN
FUZZY THINKING (which was nominated for an Eisner Award) created by French
artist Philippe Coudray, is back in BENJAMIN BEAR IN BRIGHT IDEAS! Each page of
the book is a comic that involves Benjamin. His friend Rabbit has returned and
there a few newer recurring characters, too. Benjamin might not be a role
model, but he is a character that kids will love. The theme of the book is thinking
outside of the box. Some of the ideas are clever and some are unusual, but
foolish (and sometimes funny). My two favorite strips in the book are when
Benjamin decides to visit his friend goldfish at his house in the water and
when rabbit draws a picture of Benjamin on a tree. BENJAMIN BEAR IN BRIGHT
IDEAS! is a short, but entertaining book filled with simple and enduring
illustrations. Recommended for kids in kindergarten – 3rd grades.
