Horn Book Guide Reviews

In a slim but bouncy text, Hulme invites readers to enjoy the ephemeral bubble: ""dip the stick in bubble stuff / give a slow and steady puff."" Although the limited vocabulary leads to several forced or trite rhymes, the circularity of the text is appealing, as are the cartoony pastels featuring children with heads as round as the bubbles they blow.
