 Lisa,
Thanks for sharing this. I remember being on the Sydney Taylor Book Award 
Committee that year and asking the same question about cute animals in Jewish 
books. Jane Zalben's Benny books were a breakthrough and  the book was 
designated an honor book. Patricia Polacco's The Keeping Quilt was the prize 
recipient that year.

So happy to see that Benny and his family are still around.
