Publisher's Synopsis
Former teacher, attorney and international award winning author, Penelope Dyan, wrote this book, "Ben's Elephant!" for her good friend, Ben. Ben calls Penelope Dyan the 'book lady, ' and he is full of ideas for stories he wants her to write. One day while drawing an elephant together on I-Pad, they noticed something about the elephant; and this story was born. Can you guess what it was that was different about Ben's elephant and what they did about it? Ben loves art, and he can't stop drawing. He has a very big imagination that never stops, and sometimes he will burst into laughter, and he will give someone a great big hug for no reason at all! Maybe you know someone like Ben. Maybe you are just like Ben. Do your drawings sometimes come to life for you in your imagination? If they do, then perhaps you should sit down and write a story about your own drawings. You could even make a book! That's what Penelope Dyan did when she was a kid! And when she was a teacher, her kids were always making books, drawing and having fun reading and learning, because learning and doing all of those things is always fun!
