From Mike Reiss, Emmy Award-winning writer for The Simpsons, comes a hysterical tale for anyone who has ever felt a little different.
Mike Reiss, writer for The Simpsons, and David Catrow, honored twice with a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year Award, have joined forces to create one of the funniest, quirkiest books ever, and one that crosses all ages and demographic groups.
Benjy has an unusual problem. He looks just like Abraham Lincoln-right down to the wart and beard. Needless to say, life isn't easy. He is given Lincoln Logs and stovepipe hats for every birthday. He gets stuck playing Lincoln in every school play-whether he's part of the story or not. And the teasing is unrelenting.
When school ends, he plans on spending another summer sitting inside alone, but his parents have a surprise. They're sending him to Camp Watchamacallit-The Camp for Kids Who Look Like Things! With scenes reminiscent of Bosch and Brueghel, Benjy learns that he's not unusual-he's unique! And when he realizes what's special about himself, it doesn't take long for others to realize it as well.
Mike Reiss and David Catrow have created a wonderfully hysterical tale that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt a little different from their peers.
