Bentley’s pretty amazed—children and grown-ups alike are loving his adventures! From giggles to happy dances, the fun is definitely contagious!
"Another delightful addition to the Adventures of Bentley! I am super-excited to read this to my Preschool and JK students! They fell in love with Bentley's first book and now we have another to add to our collection!"
"I love the Bentley Hippo books and what they stand for. These are not just books with fun little stories; they deliver an important message that helps young children deal with society, including the other kids around them. Book 4 in the series is all about cultivating patience, something we all need to do more of! As with the other books in the series, Bentley is also a figure of positivity."
