<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton and award-winning author Cary Fagan comes a charming sibling story that has the makings of a contemporary classic.</b> <p/>Benny's little brother is really good at a lot of things -- making potions and paper airplanes, building forts, putting on puppet shows, even petting the neighbor's cat (he has a special way of scratching her just behind the ears). But whenever he tries to join in Benny's activities, all Benny ever says is No. <i>Maybe</i> his little brother can watch him do cool stuff, if he's lucky. What is a little fox to do, except give Benny a taste of his own medicine? Totally familiar yet fresh and original, tenderly told and consistently funny, this story perfectly captures the joys (and annoyances!) of sibling relationships.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><b>One of <i>CCBC</i>'s Best Books for Kids & Teens 2019</b> <p/>PRAISE FOR <i>What Are You Doing, Benny?</i> </b> <p/>"Relating the tale in the first person by the younger fox in child-friendly dialogue and with delightfully imaginative imagery, Fagan treats the sibling relationship with humor and kindness, leading to a win-win outcome. . . .
