Benjamin Boo wants to make a painting by himself, but his friends want to paint with him. In this little picture book, Benjamin Boo learns that each of his friends can add something special to the painting to make it really super. And painting together can be fun. This is the fourth book in the Benjamin Boo children's picture book series. The photograph story pages in the Benjamin Boo books recreate a child using imagination to play with toys and make up stories.
