Review

"Ben Draws Trouble," by Matt Davies is a follow-up book to "Ben Rides On." The illustrations are great, and the story of a boy who loves to draw (sometimes caricatures of his classmates and teachers) is fun. When Ben loses his sketchbook, he worries that others will see his work (they do and it actually turns out well). I wouldn't say it's a must-buy, but it is amusing and kids will enjoy it.

Overall Book Score: very good
