The Trouble with Ben

Meer over het boek

Ben gets in trouble because he is different from everyone else but the problem is–Ben is a bear. It’s just that no one notices because they are too busy trying to get him to be like everyone else. And what does he get in trouble for? Well, for things that any bear would do–like falling asleep at his desk during the cold winter months when he should be hibernating. Ben tries to conform – but the results are disastrous until he realizes that he must be true to himself. And then a funny thing happens; his classmates start trying to be like him….a wonderful story that illustrates the need to see children for who they are and a perfect book for teaching about individuality.
