Characters Reading: Truman Oatley (Martha Speaks)

Truman Oatley from the Martha Speaks animated series is a little genius and a total bookworm. He's such an avid reader that whenever there's a book sale all the other kids know to go early to find books because Truman usually buys a lot of them.

I just love Truman, he's a book nerd that looks forward to going to the library and the museum. I find him to be inspiring because he has a love of learning and a love of reading. Don't you just love that.

Favorite Fictional Bookworm: Truman from Martha Speaks

Truman Oatley from the PBS show Martha Speaks is one of my Favorite Fictional Bookworms because this little smart guy loves to read books. He can never get enough of learning. He also loves science and for instance in the episode "Truman's Mad", he was so disappointed with the lackluster science kit he ordered, he decided to create his own experiments.

He might not be the most outgoing guy since he's kind of shy and sometimes a little afraid to try new things when he doesn't think he will be good at them like sports or sledding down a huge hill. But even though he's afraid he eventually gives them a try.
