April Robins, Celeste Robins and Ruby Robins
When you were a child, did you have a bedtime companion that you could not go to sleep without? Was he soft and cuddly? Did he have long arms for hugging and long ears for listening? If you lost him, what would you do? Join Austin and his Grandpa as they search frantically for Austin’s favorite stuffed bunny. Over and over again, you will hear Austin say, “Where is My Bennie?”

Grandpa went to Austin’s suitcase to get Bennie. He was not in there.
“Let’s look on the bed Grandpa. Bennie took a nap with me. Don’t you remember? Grandma gave him to me!” The tone in Austin’s voice intensified.
“Oh, is that so? Let’s call Grandma on her cell and ask her,” Grandpa responded.
After all, this was an emergency. The most cherished Bennie, a family member as far as Austin was concerned, was missing.
They tried twice to reach Grandma, but she did not answer her phone.
It was now up to Austin and Grandpa to find Bennie.
