Customer Reviews

A classic and one of Rosemary Wells best.

I loved this book as a child, and am so sad we didn't hold on to my copy (especially if you notice how much the price is on the used copies). I managed to borrow a copy from a local library and my four year old son LOVES it too. He can't read it, but has memorized it and loves the illustrations of Tulip jumping out of the tree to terrorize poor Benjamin.

I love Benjamin and Tulip!

I adore this book! It was one of my favorites when I was small, and my very dog-eared copy still sits on my shelf. My dad would read it to me, and although I felt very sorry for Benjamin, I lived vicariously through Tulip! This is a darling book!

Wonderful!

One of the treasured delights from my childhood, this book is still on my shelves. With the aid of a watermelon, long-suffering Benjamin finally comes to grips with his nemesis, Tulip.

Rosemary Wells' funniest book

Every time Benjamin meets Tulip she says "I'm gonna beat you up" and she does. Tulip is a little horror, gleefully dropping from the trees to mess up Benjamin's new suit with mud, an unruly, fearsome girl, as different as can be from the little goody-goody Ruby of the Max and Ruby books. Max eventually finds a watermelon helpful in taming the tyrannical Tulip and the book has a happy ending. Very amusing and much less bland than Rosemary Wells' other books.
