Reviews about Aggie and Ben: Three Stories (6):
Gardagar
This is a wonderful early reader about a boy named Ben and his new puppy, Aggie. In the first story Ben's father takes him to a pet store and Ben thoughtfully considers the pros and cons of various pets. Ben's thought process is delightful, and inspiring, too. Kids will relate to it. The story ends with Ben choosing a puppy who makes him laugh. He names her Aggie.

In the second story, Ben wants to be like Aggie. He pants, he rolls on the floor, but draws the line at drinking water out of the toilet bowl. We see Ben teaching Aggie proper dog behavior, the do's and don'ts of living in the household.

In the third story Ben and Aggie go to sleep in Ben's bed. Aggie is afraid of sounds and shadows at first, and Ben gets up, turns on the light, and shows her what is making the noise or the shape on the wall. Aggie then plays a trick on Ben.

A very well-written book, totally enjoyable. Kids will love both Ben and Aggie, and so will adults.

Great for kids at the first or second easy reader levels. As a read aloud it will be great for younger kids. Sweet, heartwarming stories.

There's a discussion on the Amazon boards about that age when kids feel they're beyond picture books, but may not feel ready for chapter books. It's pretty much of a moot point, because there are lots books with pictures AND short easy-to read chapters ("Henry and Mudge," "George and Martha"). However, the thread is a good place for readers to share favorites, and for authors to plug their books ("oh, by the way, you might like MY book....").

"Aggie and Ben" bridges the alleged gap between picture and chapter books with three short chapters about young Ben choosing and playing with a pet animal. The sentences are simple and the words are short, yet author Lori Ries keeps things interesting and cohesive. In the first short chapter, Ben visits a pet store and deliberates over the pros and cons of each animal. He likes birds, mice, cats, and snakes, but he's thoughtful enough to consider the potential negatives: "A cat would chase things. A cat would play. But a cat would not play with me at the park. 'I do not think I want a cat,' I say." The language is straight on, with no twisty clauses or confusing tenses. ANd, as simple as the narrative is, Ries' protagonist actually shares his thoughts with the reader. SOmetimes those thoughts are humorous, especially when coupled with Frank Dormer's light, airy pen and watercolor illustrations: "But a snake might make Mommy scream," says Ben while thinking about a pet snake. We see mommy in the shower (behind a curtain, of course), her hair covered in a huge shower cap as she faces a green snake wrapped around the shower head!

By chapter two, Ben has chosen his pet, a brown and white Beaglish sort of mutt whom he names "Aggie." THey play copycat (or dog): "'Look, I'm a dog,' I tell MOmmy. 'I am just like Aggie....' Aggie sniff the couch. I sniff the couch, too. She sniffs the couch. I sniff the couch too." But Ben must teach Aggie some limites: Daddy's shoe is not a toy, a clothes dryer is not a bed, and, when Aggie drinks out of the toilet (all tastefully drawn), Ries writes this gem: "I am done being a dog." The last chapter is called, "The Scary THing," promising something a little more dangerous. That's another good thing about this book; you can read one chapter and skip others depending on your child's mood. This last story deals with kids' fear of the dark. Aggie gets cozy on Ben's bed, but when the lights go out, they seem to see things, somewhat...scary things. However, Ben and Aggie discover that they're just toys, or shadows (Ben's silhoetted bathrobe looks like a shadowy person),, or Aggie himself pulling on the bed cover! ADults will love the soft, gentle conclusion as they ready their own kids for bed:

Aggie lies down to sleep, too.
There is nothing scary.
Just me and Aggie.

It's difficult to pack so much into a simple story, but Ries and Dormer succeed. A few times, I wished the pictures were somewhat more color saturated, but by the last page, I saw that it fit with the light, comforting tone. This is a book that respects kids' intellectual and emotional needs, and its warmth is palpable.

Nothing else is quite like the excitement and joy with which a new reader first moves from short, simple read-it-myself texts to books that actually have chapters. Aggie and Ben is a book that's perfect for young readers about to take that special step. The three stories of the subtitle are actually three stand-alone chapters taking place on a single, satisfying day.
Author Lori Ries selects familiar children's themes, then gives each one a clever twist that makes it fresh and surprising. In the first story, the tried and true (often trite) I-want-a-pet motif is inverted, as going to the pet store is Dad's idea. Once there, luckily, adults retire to the background and focus shifts to Ben for the rest of the book. Ben ponders a number of potential pets, rejecting each for a humorous yet logical reason before picking a puppy who makes him laugh.
The second chapter/story introduces the puppy, Aggie, to her new home. Ben follows her around the house, experiencing everything from a puppy's point of view. Kids and adults alike will howl with laughter midway through at the reason Ben declares, "I am done being a dog."
Ries obviously knows kids and dogs, too. The tale is absolutely kid-size, right down to the scary sounds in the night that challenge Ben and Aggie in the third story/chapter.
Illustrator' Frank Dormer's bright ink and watercolor illustrations add zest to the tale. At first brush, the cartoony style seems angular, almost abstract, but by page 6, when the reader reaches the pet store with Ben and his dad, the pictures are so actively and perfectly suited to the text, it's hard to imagine them in any other form. Dormer, an editorial illustrator, makes a delightful children's book debut here.
Even confirmed cat-lovers will find it hard to resist this appealing puppy and her boy.
