Binky

One of Trent's new favorite books is Leslie Patricelli's Binky. Some of existing favorites include Sandra Boynton's titles including But Not the Hippopotamus, Barnyard Dance, and The Going-To-Bed Book. Binky, however, is the first book where I've gotten the sense that Trent understands the plot. It is the 12 page sage a baby questing for a lost binky. I think Trent understands the elements of the story. Perhaps because he can identify with the main character, the motivation, the narrative line, and the cathartic nature of the resolution. I won't spoil it for you by telling whether or not the baby finds the binky.
