ben and his book
Originally uploaded by nostalgist

Benjamin has recently become interested in writing. He used to dictate the words to Jeremy as he drew the pictures; now he's trying to write the words himself. This book is called EEEK! Mifletzet (monster) and it's in Hebrew and English (he's started to write English backwards because Hebrew is right to left, which adds an additional frisson to trying to read his writing). In the story, a boy goes to school and on his first day while the teacher is reading a scary story he pretends he's seen a monster. All the other children get scared but when they realize he's teasing them they chase him. The end.
