Bestselling author Geoffrey Hayes has written and illustrated over
forty children's books, including the extremely popular series of
early readers Otto and Uncle Tooth, the classic Bear by Himself,
the Patrick Bear books, and When the Wind Blew by Caldecott
Medal-winning author Margaret Wise Brown.
His TOON Book series of Benny and Penny books has garnered multiple
awards. In 2009, Benny and Penny in the Big No-No! received the
Theodor Seuss Geisel Award given by the American Library
Association for "the most distinguished American book for beginning
readers published in English."
It’s bedtime for the mouseling brother and sister—but not before
plenty of horsing around and a deliciously scary expedition into
the backyard... Another outing positively radiant with child
appeal, featuring a pair of close siblings with complementary
personalities.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Hayes’ sense of the bouncing rhythms of children’s play, grasp of
sibling social dynamics in true-to-life scenarios, and especially
his adorably huggable, crayon-colored characters have made him the
standard-bearer of early-reader comics.
—Booklist
Benny and Penny are two of the most adorable mice created in a
comic book format, and their adventures are engaging to young
readers...The series continues to show a fun look at timeless tales
of big brothers and little sisters and the wonder of
imagination.
