Bentley’s Best Birthday Ever!
Bentley is back, and it’s his birthday! Bentley is excited to share his special day with his new friends, but they are nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Bentley meets Bella, a lost dog whose family has recently moved to Bentley’s neighborhood. Tia, Bentley’s Fairy Dogmother, and the Dog Pack have a BIG secret! They are planning a surprise birthday party for Bentley, and when Tia is around there is always some magic. Wait till you see Bentley’s reaction to his surprise party, and especially to the special guest that Tia brings!
This book once again highlights Bentley's kind nature, and also shows that moving to a new neighborhood can be fun! Beautifully illustrated by Anne York, Bentley fans will not be disappointed as they follow Bentley's latest adventure.

My Thoughts:
I always enjoy fun, colorful, and educational books that kids can enjoy. Bentley's Best Birthday EVER! does not disappoint. One of the outstanding themes within the book is that of the joy of giving to others. That's an important lesson for kids to understand how to give without expecting physical gifts in return.
What caught my attention is the fun colors and illustrations throughout the book. They are definitely age-appropriate and bring the story to life. And of course, the story about a dog always captures little minds and hearts. This book definitely will!
