Barnaby Bookworm is a bookworm who lives in the library of small town called Centerville. On the shelves labeled "Hi, Lo" you will find him and his parents, George and Louisa May. Barnaby soon started school and became friends with another bookworm named Lewis. Barnaby and Lewis were very happy friends who loved school, until report cards came and Barnaby's grades were much lower than Lewis’s. Afraid to upset his parents with the news of his bad grades, Barnaby wanders off and soon finds himself lost and about to begin a small adventure he will never forget. Come find out what happens to the small bookworm of Centerville Library!
The Adventures of Barnaby Bookworm by Anthony Peter Fotia is a delightful and charming short story which introduces young readers to the concepts of problems, problem solving, emotions, and the importance of communication. The main character in the book, Barnaby, is afraid to tell his parents about his bad grades, and although the end result of his actions was a good one, it could very well have ended differently. He should have communicated with his parents or teacher that he was having a problem in school, even though he was scared. The books allows for young readers to understand the importance of asking for help when help is needed, and to not judge their own gains or losses with their peers, as everyone is different.
The Adventures of Barnaby Bookworm is a great book for pre-school and kindergarten-aged children. The book could be used in a classroom, library, or for personal use at home. With the lesson portrayed within the book, it would make for a great problem-solving, building self-esteem, or self-confidence, reference book for young readers.
