librarianryan 's review for:

Benji and the Giant Kite by Alan C. Fox, Eefje Kuijl
2.0

I love the concept of this story. Kids do not fly kits anymore, but that is what Benji loves to do. He loses quite a few of his kites to the waves of the sea when they fall from the sky. There is this amazing big orange kite that Benji really wants but he will have to save his money and help work in the garden before it can be his. If it was not for the last two pages this would have been a 5 star read. Instead, it promotes being careless with your belongings, littering, and disregard for our oceans.
