Bumblebee Boy Loves Imaginative Play

I love, love, love this book about Sam, an imaginative boy who is “bum ba bum bumm” — Bumblebee Boy! And he fights pirate Greenbeard in a terrible battle but, ”I can play too?” asks little brother, Owen.

Owen cramps Sam’s imaginative life. Big time. Bumblebee Boy files alone to fight the fire dragon and then,”I play now?” Owen interrupts.

Bumblebee Boy must stop the people-eating circus lion. Wait, someone is rubbing the lion’s tummy. And it’s Owen!

Will Bumblebee Boy ever need a sidekick?
