Description
Bubba Begonia is a young boy who desperately wants to make a good impression on the first day at his new school. But Bubba is nervous. Very nervous. And when he gets nervous his finger just seems to naturally head to his nose. "Bubba! Don't be messin' with your nose," admonishes his mother. "Your finger'll get stuck and then you'll be sorry!"
But Deerwatson Elementary isn't your ordinary school. And Bubba's classmates aren't your ordinary students. In meeting the zaniest bunch of kids ever assembled, Bubba makes a memorable first impression when his mother's words of warning come true.
In his first chapter book (ages 8 and up), Gerry O'Brien creates an hilarious story of a young boy who overcomes an embarrassing personal habit with the help of his equally embarrassing little sister.
About the authors
Brenda Jones has spent years roaming the woods and fields across Canada, gathering and studying the herbs that live here in order to better understand the properties of these amazing plants. With a background as an artist and illustrator, she began painting each herb in detail to help with identification, and eventually published her first herb book, Medicinal Herbs of Eastern Canada. She has now completed the Western version, and continues to expand her own backyard herb garden, filling her cupboards with tinctures, oils, and herbal teas.
Gerry O’Brien has written three other books in the Bubba Begonia series, all published by the Acorn Press. He has also written two prize-winning picture books. As well, Gerry is the lyricist on three songs co-written with Tom Szczesniak and Ray Parker for Nelvana Productions in Toronto. One is featured in a Franklin The Turtle movie, another is the theme song for the children’s TV series called “Corduroy Bear” and the third is sung by Funshine Bear in the Care Bear movie Care Bears and The Journey to Joke A Lot. Gerry also has a poem entitled “Tis The Season” in Canadian poems for Canadian Kids [edited by Jen Hamilton] published by Subway Books, Vancouver. Formerly of the Argyle Shore in Prince Edward Island, he now makes his home in Kitchener, Ontario, where he lives with his wife, Loretta.
