Description
Ben is always the last kid left at pickup time, and one day he invents an amazing tale to explain why. An energetic, imaginative story that will strike a chord with busy families.
Ben hates being the only one left at pickup time and it happens every single day. So one afternoon Ben tells his friends why his dad is always last: he's busy ruling over a kingdom full of treasure, snake-monsters, knights and robbers. Now all the children want to stay later at pickup time to hear Ben's amazing tale...
