| Bubba Begonia, You'll Be Sorry! |
| Gerry O'Brien Illustrations by Brenda Jones |
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, 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.

| Like it had a mind of its own, Bubba’s finger rose from the table and disappeared up his nose. He ignored the bowl of Cracklin’ Sugar Babies that sat in front of him and glanced up at the kitchen clock. In one hour and seven minutes he would be starting grade four at a brand new school. Mrs. Begonia stood at the stove stirring a pot of oatmeal. She glanced over her shoulder at Bubba. “Bubba Begonia! Don’t be messing with your nose! Your finger’ll get stuck and then you’ll be sorry.” Bubba jammed his hand under his butt. “You know, today is a great opportunity for you, Bubba,” said his mother. “New school. New classmates. They don’t have to know about this finger in the nose business.” Yeah, and they don’t have to call me “The Nose Jockey” like the kids at my old school did, thought Bubba. It was a nasty habit Bubba had picked up many years ago. Whenever he started to worry or get nervous, his finger would head straight to his nose. A lot of kids’ fingers would head straight for their mouths and they’d darn near bite their fingernails right off. Nobody seemed to care about the nail-biters, but they sure went nuts when your finger hit your nose. |
