Barnaby Bright and the Waiting Wobble

The ice cream truck just rolled up — and so has every other kid in the park. Barnaby Bright's line stretches all the way past the swings, and something fizzy and twitchy starts buzzing in his legs...

The Wobble is back — orange-red again, and just as impossible to ignore. This time it's not anger over a knocked-down tower, but the fidgety, foot-shifting feeling of waiting for something you really, really want.

With Dad by his side, Barnaby learns that a long line feels a lot shorter once you stop just staring at it — and that naming a feeling, taking a breath, and finding something to do while you wait can turn "this is taking forever" into "I spy... us!"

Why families will love this book

Barnaby Bright and the Waiting Wobble tackles one of the most common (and most public) parenting moments — the meltdown-in-line — with warmth, humor, and real developmental insight into impulse control and delayed gratification. The playful "I-Spy" strategy gives grown-ups an actual tool to use in the moment, not just a lesson to preach.

Perfect for children who are:

  • Learning to wait their turn in lines, waiting rooms, or with siblings
  • Prone to big, fizzy, impatient feelings when something takes too long
  • Comforted by consistent characters and a predictable emotional story arc
  • Ready for an interactive read-aloud with a built-in game to play together

Book Fifteen of the Barnaby Bright series. Ages 3–6. 32-page full-color hardcover-quality softcover picture book, 8.5×8.5".
