The Bubby Within
by Katherine McCallum

---

Spencer Wellington is a sweet young boy who, thanks to his inner Bubby, gets up to all kinds of mischief. He tangles up his fishing line, gets water everywhere playing in the sink, and goes on a safari in the living room. Spencer always means well. He’s just active and creative in his play. But at the end of the day, it’s going to be up to Spencer to clean up the mess he makes . . . before he starts his next adventure. The Bubby Within is a charming, funny rhyming story about the messes children make—and how much fun they have doing it! The book reminds parents that while discipline and teaching moments are important, at the end of the day what your kids will most remember is the experiences they had along the way.
