BENJAMIN'S BASKET is written by Robyn Wild and illustrated by Elizabeth Liesellotte Cullen.  Benjamin is a cat who loves his basket. His basket is his place of comfort and security. One day his basket disappeared. Children and adults alike will be able to associate with Benjamin's longing for his old familiar basket and the insecurity and distress he felt at losing it.

Parents and teachers will find BENJAMIN'S BASKET an excellent book to launch discussions with young children about the sharing of feelings, empathy for others, and dealing with frustrations and anger without resorting to violence.

BENJAMIN'S BASKET appeals to that part of all of us that wants to hold on to old and familiar things. The story also teaches children that we should respect the value of others and try not to impose our wishes on them.
