Posthuma's award-winning book Rintje has been published by Kane/Miller in the US as Benny:

"Posthuma's bright watercolors offer continuous cheer… A heartwarming comedy for the cold season." (Publishers Weekly)

"The pictures are quite delightful…Benny and the other characters are a peppy mix of pure canine and human characteristics. The humor comes from small details and broad jokes." (Ilene Cooper for Booklist/American Library Association)

"Lively, expressive, and full of humorous touches. Pure fun." (Kirus Reviews)

"I can hear the children squealing about the different items Benny tries to smell.… Children will enjoy reading [it] again and again. We rated it four hearts." (Jane Deskis for Heartland Reviews)

"With playful ink and watercolor illustrations resembling an extended New Yorker cartoon, Posthuma tracks the dejected Benny…Quircky visual touches extend the humor." (C.M.H. for The Horn Book Magazine)
