A bizarre and wonderful Scandinavian story of a toddler who travels the sea with his stuffed animal friends come to life. The book takes the reader through the mad who world of Baby Ben, who is imagining a dark and scary adventure on the open seas while his mother cleans the house around him. A charming rhyming story, with odd and sometimes creepy twists and turns, only to resolve itself in the comfort of Baby Bens living room. One of my childhood favorites! ( )
