Ben & his Friends

About the Book

Ben & his Friends is a story about a young wolf, named Ben, who goes into the forest one day to make friends. But Ben has a problem - no one likes wolves. So how can Ben make friends?

Whether you are a child or a "kid at heart," readers should enjoy the story for several reasons: First, it is full of rhymes, and most people like stories that rhyme (just ask Dr. Seuss readers). Second, it is a heart-warming story to which most of us can relate, i.e., being treated differently or unfairly. Third, it teaches good moral values, such as friendship, forgiveness, kindness, peace and love. In essence, an interesting and illustrated children's book that rhymes and teaches good lessons is worth purchasing!

This is the author's first book, and he hopes that readers will enjoy the story and its' message. Based upon past experience reading the book to hundreds of children, the author is pretty sure that you will like it too!
