Review
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Hayes’ sense of the bouncing rhythms of children’s play, grasp of sibling social dynamics in true-to-life scenarios, and especially his adorably huggable, crayon-colored characters have made him the standard-bearer of early-reader comics.
—Booklist
Benny and Penny are two of the most adorable mice created in a comic book format, and their adventures are engaging to young readers...The series continues to show a fun look at timeless tales of big brothers and little sisters and the wonder of imagination.

About the author
Geoffrey Hayes grew up in San Francisco and has been telling stories all his life. He and his brother Rory drew picture books for each other even before they learned to write. As time went on, they incorporated their stuffed animals and toys, each with distinctive personalities, into their stories, art and home movies.
As a young man, Geoffrey moved to New York where he studied at Hunter College, the School of Visual Arts and The Art Students League. He earned a living in the Interior Design department of an architectural firm where he was able to hone his drafting skills, and began building his portfolio. His first book BEAR BY HIMSELF, published by HarperCollins in 1976, was in print for over thirteen years -- and was later reissued by Random House. His third book, illustrations for Margaret Wise Brown's WHEN THE WIND BLEW, was chosen by the New York Times as one of the Ten Best Illustrated Books of the Year. About this time, Geoffrey began studying with Caldecott Award-Winning artist Uri Shulevitz.
Geoffrey discovered that he had an innate talent for understanding the way young children think and behave, as well as an ability for telling stories with simple, direct language. This led to a long career writing Easy Readers. His series of OTTO AND UNCLE TOOTH adventures for Random House have sold over a million and a half copies, and his BENNY AND PENNY readers, published by TOON Books have won numerous awards and honors, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award in 2010 -- the first time this was given to a graphic reader.
BENNY AND PENNY in LET'S PRETEND was the initial title in the TOON Books line, the brainchild of Francoise Mouly -- the first ever readers done as comics. This idea has proven immensely successful with parents, librarians and children. Doing books for TOON reawakened Geoffrey;s early love of the Graphic Novel format and sequential storytelling. Currently, he is hard at work on his dream project, a 144 page original fairy tale, LOVO AND THE FIREWOLF, which Fantagraphics plans to publish in early 2018.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2014My grandson is six years old. He loves reading these graphic books and now also reads them with his three hear old sister. The kids love seeing the progression of the story in pictures.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2014Perfect condition, fast delivery on this adorable book that kids love. Great for new readers. Adorable illustrations make this a book that children will treasure.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014My son enjoyed reading this book and enjoys the entire series! Shipped relatively quick and purchased at a fair and affordable price.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2012Benny and his sister, Penny, (two mice children) return for their latest Toon Book adventure. Penny wants to go to sleep, but Benny is all wound up. Finally Benny settles down, but he can't fall asleep without his pirate hat. Unfortunately, his pirate hat is outside in the playhouse in the backyard. That means Benny has to sneak outside in the dark and grab his hat. Does Benny have the courage to get his hat? Will Penny let him leave the room and go outside alone?
As the other Benny and Penny Toon Books, the characters in the story react as real children react when placed in similar situations. Young children (PreK age) can really relate to these characters. The text is written in a very simple style that make it easy for beginning readers to follow along and the illustrations actually tell a story themselves.
Those who are already familiar with Benny and Penny will be eager to follow their latest adventures. BENNY AND PENNY IN LIGHTS OUT! , but the book is also a good selection to just read to younger children in general.
