Bubba Begonia You're Such a Lucky Guy by Gerry O'Brien

No automatic alt text available.A few years ago I visited my local Chapters bookstore to find some books for my young son.  Gerry O'Brien was at the store doing a signing and his Bubba Begonia books looked exactly like what we were after.  Bubba Begonia books are the perfect length for a young reader and they are action packed with so many funny scenes.  

In Bubba Begonia You're Such a Lucky Guy, Bubba believes he's anything but lucky.  His parents have just sat him down for a talk to tell him they are moving his baby brother into his bedroom.  Then maybe he does get lucky when his parents agree to getting him the puppy he's asked for 5,000 times.  But Bubba quickly learns that puppies are a lot of work - and trouble! 

Bubba has a great group of friends that bring a lot of fun to the stories.  The books are also filled with funny little poems that children will love.  Bubba Begonia You're Such a Lucky Guy is book number five in the series and is in stores now.   

The author, Gerry O'Brien, enjoys doing school visits.  I had him out to my school a few years ago and the students loved him!  He really inspired them with his stories.  After Gerry's visit the students spent weeks acting out his books on the playground.
