Benny and the Binky

Benny and the Binky by Lindgren, Barbro. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9789129654974.

An irresistible follow-up to Benny’s Had Enough! One morning Benny awakens to find a bassinet standing next to him. Finally, Benny has a brother! All Benny’s new sibling does is scream and scream – until his mother gives him a binky. Benny wants a binky, too, but his mother says he’s too old for one. And Benny’s brother isn’t willing to share. Benny soon grows tired of his new brother – he’d rather have the binky. So when his mother isn’t looking, Benny runs away with the binky. He feels triumphant, until he meets up with some porcine bullies. Fortunately, he is rescued, and after running all the way home, Benny restores the binky to its rightful owner. Olof Landström’s hilarious illustrations capture the frustrations and joys of having a new sibling.
