Customer Reviews

Bubblicious

Find a two year old, a four year old or a six year old to read this book to. Find a 62 year old. Find someone, because Trouble Gum is that cute! Not cute: hilarious! The pictures capture family relationships and kid-ness whimsically. Big brother, Reuben (a piglet), teaches little brother, Julius (also a piglet), the joy and spectacularlessness of bubble-gum blowing. They love bubble gum; I love bubble gum. The pictures and graphics of this book zing! You will love reading Trouble Gum, and the title says it all!
