Bubba Begonia, You'll Be Sorry — Gerry O'Brien

Bubba Begonia 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 make for his nose all by itself. "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 warning comes true. In his first chapter book (ages 7 to 9), Gerry O'Brien creates a hilarious story of a young boy who overcomes an embarrassing personal habit with the help of his equally embarrassing little sister.
