Hayes, G.
(2009). Benny and Penny in The big no-no!: A Toon book. New York: Toon
Books.
One of the many things we have to learn while growing up,
whether we are little kids or adults, is to not jump into conclusions. Taking
something that does not belong to you is a definite no-no! Benny lost his bucket and he’s sure his new
neighbor took it. He must get it back at all costs! But, wait! Penny does not
think it’s a good idea to go into a place where you have not been invited. That is also a most definite no-no! But
why is their neighbor taking things that did not belong to her? What will Benny
do? Will he do the right thing? What explanation does Melina have?
Haven't we all been there? Where we make an erroneous assumption about a person's personality or integrity when we first meet them, or sometimes even jump into conclusions about a person without even having met them yet? Well, adults do that too. Sometimes we also take matters into our own hands when in it is not our place to do that. It's okay to teach children about these things at an early age. We can't judge a book by its cover and we can't take matters into our own hands either. Can our children learn this lesson at an early age?
