Editorial Review

What’s Wrong With Barnaby? is a children’s picture book by Sherry Roberts. Barnaby loved playing in the snow with his friends. They made a snowman and dressed him in a hat and Barnaby’s scarf. They also made a fort and had snowball fights. Barnaby was happy for a few days but he began to feel sad and wished the snow would disappear. The sun didn’t shine anymore and Barnaby became very unhappy. He didn’t even want to play with his friends and decided to read his favorite book about pirates and sea monsters. But that didn’t make Barnaby feel better. Neither did the other books he read. Barnaby missed the sun. He decided to bring it back by creating his own. Maybe that will make him happy again.
