Books
Andy Shane and the Very Bossy Dolores Starbuckle
By Jennifer Richard Jacobson
Illustrated by Abby Carter
A funny story about boosting self-esteem.
Andy Shane would much rather be home catching bugs with Granny Webb than sitting in class with the likes of know-it-all Dolores Starbuckle. "I hate school" he blurts out at the end of the day to Granny Webb, who is sympathetic but firm. But when Granny makes a surprise visit to school with a monarch caterpillar, everyone is mesmerised, and Andy remembers how much he knows about insects himself. Even Dolores Starbuckle can't help but be impressed.
