Because Benjamin's family didn't approve of his art, he had to make his own painting supplies. The local Native Americans taught him how to mix paints from earth, clay, and plants. And his cat, Grimalkin, sacrificed hair from his tail for Ben's brushes. This classic story from Newbery Award-winning author Marguerite Henry features the original text with gorgeous new cover art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarguerite Henry (1902-1997) was the beloved author of such classic horse stories as \u003ci\u003eKing of the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMisty of Chincoteague\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eStormy, Misty's Foal\u003c\/i\u003e, and her work has won several Newbery Awards and Honors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWesley Dennis was best known for his illustrations in collaboration with author Marguerite Henry.
