You may have already read Barry Loser: I am Not a Loser and I am Still Not a Loser. If you have, you will love this special £1 book by Jim Smith. It's a bargain and a great way to spend your £1 voucher for World Book Day.

For those who don't know, Barry Loser is a guy at school - I guess he is about eight years old- who is a bit (well quite a lot) of a loser and gets teased by this horrible guy, his arch enemy Darren Darrenofski.

This short book is all about Barry going for an audition for a shampoo advert and he's really excited about it at first. But it's actually for nit shampoo so it would exactly be embarrassing to be in it, but he still wants to. The only trouble is that to get the role you have to be able to roller skate. Oh dear, Barry can't! But horrible Darren can, so he gets the part.

The book turns into a campaign to save insects - Barry ends up loving bugs so much he makes tiny graves for them. It's all very silly!

This book is full of the most hilarious drawings. In fact, I think Jim Smith mainly wrote the book so he could do the drawings. All the characters are very funny with massive noses and massive heads and tiny bodies and I love that because that's exactly how I draw (I think the heads are much more important because that's where you find all the emotion).

In a way this book is for boys because it's really about boys. I'm a girl who likes reading emotional stories by Jacqueline Wilson more, but I know boys (and some girls) will really love this. They'll really laugh.

This little book is the kind of book you could read anywhere, not just in bed at night. On the loo even?!! I read a lot of this one on the loo.

I recommend it if you want a laugh. It's very funny.

I Am Not Nit A Loser by Jim Smith is one of ten official £1 World Book Day books find out more at www.worldbookday.com.
