Bobby Jay, Brother Stealer: a reluctant reader chapter book

By Gean Penny

From award-winning author Gean Penny comes book #4 in the humorous children's book series The Stinker Books. Featuring the always-in-trouble Bobby Jay as he learns the importance of friendship.

Bobby Jay's back in this hilarious tale of friendship, mishaps, and... goats? He has ONE chance to make it on the field trip-if he can rescue his fly away permission slip, dodge teacher's watchful eyes, and keep out of trouble for once. What could possibly go wrong on his big day at the farm? That depends on his new friend who isn't afraid to say the one word that makes everyone laugh

This is a great book to open discussion in younger children on the subjects of kindness and bullying. While teasing each other is relevant to young boys and girls in learning how to socialize as they struggle with physical changes and growing up, this book introduces children to the idea that there are consequences to meanness and bullying and it does so with humor.Gean Penny is the author of a Royal Dragonfly Award Winning book, Esther Eagle Can't Soar and an Amazon #1 Best Seller, The Lonely Chair, The Texas Festivals Series, and The Adventures of Runt and Arnold.
