'Benny on the Beach' with story and illustrations by Ed and Diego Arandojo is a wordless story for young readers.

Benny goes to the beach with his parents. At first he is bored, but then he digs up a woolly mammoth. From there the story takes all kinds of imaginative twists and turns. What happens when Benny has to say goodbye to his new woolly friend?

The book is a basic graphic novel and would work well for little kids to read a story to themselves. The story is fun and the illustrations are simple enough for young eyes.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Capstone and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

A cute story of a boy named Benny, who visits the beach with his parents and somehow manages to dig up a mammoth and make friends with it. They have some adventures, pick up trash off the beach, and generally have silly fun. Then it's time for Benny to go home, and they say their goodbyes (though the goodbyes might not be final). The artwork is really fun, with a quirkiness to it, and little details to find. At the end, there are questions about the story to encourage young readers to learn to "read" the illustrations, making this a good introduction to graphic novels for kids.

Cute wordless comic book for children. Like I said cute but a bit pointless also. In my opinion this is for very very young children, just to have fun with a book, familiarize with it and learn the left to right direction of reading. Honestly i would give it 2/5, but if you consider to educational aspect of getting into book for very young age 2-3 years old, then this could deserve a 3,5/5. maybe 4/5, so i round it up to a fair 3/5.
