Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun book about a boy who brings magic bubble stuff to kindergarten show and tell. There is a lot of humor here, a bit that only a grown-up or older child would get, but the story has enough action that it kept preschoolers entertained as well. A few did find it a bit scary, but not terribly so, and nothing bad happens to anyone.

[Matthew · Rating 5 out of 5]

The amusing story of a boy who normally does poorly when it comes to show-and-tell finding a bottle of unusual bubbles on his way to school. The bottle of bubbles change everyone's opinion of his show-and-tell selections when the bubbles magically transform the class into bubbles themselves. Elvira Woodruff can craft some really amusing tales, and anyone that has read Junie B. Jones knows that Denise Brunkus illustrations are always fun. Great book!
