What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

45th Anniversary Edition. When it came to imagination, Benjamin Dilley was right up there with Einstein, Steve Jobs, and whoever came up with the idea for Disneyland. There wasn’t anything Benjamin couldn’t imagine, except maybe an honest politician or the idea of kissing a (ugh!) girl. Well, he could have if he’d wanted to I suppose but, gee, a guy has to draw the line somewhere! Just about anything else was subject to his delightfully developed imagination, either in full color, black and white, 3D, with sound or without. As you will learn upon reading the story, this included a hippo dressed as an army general, a goat driving a sports car and a genie in (and out of) a bottle just to name a few. Remember the days when you could do that? I still do it all the time, but folks seem to look at me a little strangely. They tend to say things like, “A little old for that kinda stuff, aren’t you, pops?”
