Reviews for Benji's Doll

Charming, original, entertaining, and with a positive gender message, Benji's Doll is very highly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections.-- Midwest Book Review, Childrens Bookwatch Facial features are exaggerated in this Spanish import--eyes are large, noses upturned, ears stick out--but no one exudes a more toothy joy than Benji when his wish for a doll finally comes true. Though slight on story, it's big on heart and makes for a long-overdue replacement for the venerable William's Doll, by Charlotte Zolotow and illustrated by William Pene Du Bois (1972). Friendship trumps gender norms. -- Kirkus
