Would Benji tell a tale so tall?

Lyrical verse and colorful, engaging illustrations teach positive character traits (in this case: the value of telling the truth) in a lilting, playful manner that encourages - and in trials actually produces - multiple readings.

Overview

Ages: 4-8 years

Would Benji tell a tale so tall?
And make you feel so very small?

Lyrical verse and colorful, engaging illustrations teach positive character traits (in this case: the value of telling the truth) in a lilting, playful manner that encourages - and in trials actually produces - multiple readings. Each story in the Promise Book series places Benji (and the unconditional love of every dog) in the role of being a conscience of sorts, so that when the child - or even later the older child or adult - is about to tell an untruth, a line like “Would Benji tell a tale so tall, and make you feel so very small?” might be fondly (and effectively) remembered. Each book in the series focuses on a single value like Truth, Love, Hope, Trust, or Courage (to say no to your peers). Benji Promises to Tell the Truth explores whether or not Benji should tell the truth about spilling a bowl of stew? How does it feel when you don’t tell the truth? Or when someone tries to blame you for something they have done? Ages: 4-8 years.

In this delightful series of books, Benji becomes a surrogate for the child’s own pet which enhances both the impact of the lesson and the recall with the emotional idea that if Benji (or your dog, or any dog) wouldn’t do such a thing, why would you even consider it?

In the next four of the series, Benji involves kids (and their parents) in the values of learning about hope, demonstrating love in everyday life, gaining the trust of others, and having courage (to say no to peers).

Meet the Author

Joe Camp, film writer, producer, director, passionate speaker, the man behind the canine superstar Benji, and author of the recent best seller The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd believes that anything is possible if you work hard enough and have faith in yourself. He was told by industry "experts" not to bother with the original Benji film; that it wouldn't work. He proved the experts wrong and now, after five Benji movies, he's at it again with his latest career as an author. His new best selling book The Soul of a Horse published in 2008 by the Harmony Books imprint of Random House is in its seventh printing and is changing the lives of horses and people all across the planet for the better.

Camp has written, produced and directed seven theatrical motion pictures (including all of the Benji movies) cumulatively grossing well over the equivalent of $600 million in today's dollars, making him one of the most successful independent filmmakers of all time. Camp has also authored the novels of three of his film scripts, three inspirational non-fiction books, and several books for children.
