Book detail
**Benjamin works in a factory making magic pillows. Deep, rich illustrations and a witty text tell the story of Benjamin, a happy man who lives with his parents, seldom speaks, and always hums.** .."one of the most original and different books to come along this year (or any year)." - **"The Reading Edge"** "The **rich, witty drawings** in this book have an almost European, sometimes dark, flavour to them, **bringing to mind some fairy tale illustrations of yesteryear**." - **"Edmonton Sun"** "Stephane Poulin's gently humourous, **offbeat fable springs vividly to life through his superb illustrations**. Poulin's witty paintings are richly textured and deeply tinted--gloriously different from the bright, cartoony pictures we often see in children's books." - "Today's Parent" "Well-wrought canvasses combine folksiness and pizzazz, and lots of the architectural interest at which Poulin is so adept..." - "In Search of Canadian Materials" "Winner of the Governor General's Award for illustration."
