The Bubble Gum Kid Book

A hilarious and exciting picture book with tons of laughs for the whole family

School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-Billy Bob Glum, aka The Bubble Gum Kid, has a problem-he cannot blow a bubble. He is also continually pestered by a schoolyard bully named Double Chin Dan. His sister finally teaches him to blow incredible bubbles as part of his plan to show up his nemesis, but his plan ends up getting both Billy Bob and Double Chin Dan into some unexpected trouble. Smith's rhyming text keeps the story of a boy out for revenge light and bouncy. The story moves along at a quick clip as readers try to discover how the kid solves his problems. This cautionary tale will definitely be popular with young children fascinated with bubble gum and its potential. Woolf's illustrations add to the candy-coated fun. The digitally created illustrations are full of quirky personality.-Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
