Bibble and the Bubbles

by Alice Hemming, Sara Sánchez (Illustrations)

When bubbles float away, where do they go? On Earth, Bobby wonders where the bubbles go after they float away. 667 million light years away, Bibble, an alien, wonders where bubbles come from. So Bibble makes himself a spaceship of bubbles and flies to earth, where he meets Bobby. Unable to speak each other's language, they use bubbles to become friends. Of course, it is soon time for Bibble to go home, but Bobby won’t forget him.

I was given a copy of this book to review by the publisher in exchange for a fair review in my capacity as Patron of Reading. When I first saw the cover I thought the title said BIBLE and the Bubbles which was slightly confusing as I couldn't understand the context. However, I soon realised my mistake and thoroughly enjoyed this book about the infinite capacity of our imagination. I take bubbles in on some of my author school visits and from now on this book will be coming along on my bubble themed school visits.
