I really enjoy this book as a comic strip. I believe it enhances the quality of the book overall. It's a great book for little kids who have a little sibling who bugs the older sibling to play with them all the time. Benny just wants to play pretend and be a pirate. His little sister is not able to play with him because pirates are brave and Penny is not brave enough. In the end he plays with Penny because he realized that he does love her she is brave he was just pretending that he didn't.
The main part that I like is that the layout of the pictures are different on every page. They sometimes over lap, are surrounded by a box, are not surrounded by a box and looks like a selection of picture shots. The font and style of words in the book are also used in many different ways. The talking is put into little bubble forms, ideas and imaginations are put into clouds, words of sound are in a larger font with different colors. It's a very creative way to enhance words throughout the book and let children understand their importance.
