Here's another great children's book! A friend read it to her kids and said it was a fun scientific book, but I just LOVED the title and had to read it on account of that, but she's right, its a fun scientific book.
Here are my two favorite excerpts:
Bubbles Are For keeping Warm.
Sea Otter - Enhydra lutris
Sea otters spend their lives in col ocean water - swimming, floating, diving for food, eating, having babies, and even sleeping. Most sea mammals have a think layer of fat under the skin to protect them from the cold. Otters don't. so how do they stay warm? bubbles to the rescue! Sea otters blow bubbles and whisk the water to make even more bubbles. Then they rub the bubbles into their fur. Sea otter hairs are shaped to "sip lock" together to keep air bubbles in and cold water out. The layer of air trapped in the dense underhair works like a down comforter to help sea otters stay warm. (pg.14)
Bubbles Are For Talking
Herring
Culpea pallassi (Pacific)
Culpea harengus (Antlantic)
Each night thousands of herring gather near the ocean surface and release streams of bubbles from their backsides. That's right: fish farts. Well, sort of. To be true "flatulence" - that's the scientific word for "fart" - the gas should come from digesting food. But the herring farts, or Fast Repetitive Ticks (FaRTs) as the scientists call them come from air the herring have gulped at the surface, not from food the fish have eaten. Scientists think FaRTing might be a way that herring "talk" when it's too dark to see each other. Most other fish can't hear the herring FaRTs, so herring can signal each other without alerting salmon and other fish predators. Phhhhtttt! (pg. 24)
And again the illustrations are great; descriptive and entertaining. She included clever little thought bubbles with what each fish might be thinking.
This book is a fun way to get thinks learning about new things.

Love, love, love, love LOVE this book!
First of all 'fish farts'? What kid doesn't want to hear a book about fish farts?
I read this book to my first and second graders studying adaptations and animal behaviors. They ate up every fact! Full of amazing pictures and cool facts that kids soak up.
So many fun animals, and don't miss the back- great vocabulary and extra fun facts about how different animals use bubbles.
This one's a definite keeper!

When someone goes about writing a non-fiction picture book for kids they have two choices before them. They can either write a book that they know will be used strictly for curriculum use, or they can write a book about a fun and funny topic that no one has ever tackled in a picture book format before. So while Fiona Bayrock could have written yet another ocean book / fish book / sea life book / animal life book / zzzzzz, she instead decided to go a different route. A bubble route. The premise? Bubbles have far reaching applications in the natural world, above and beyond their usual uses and ramifications. And somehow or other she has managed to find not one, not two, not three or four or five but SIXTEEN examples in the wild where animals and insects have used bubbles to save, play, help, and harm. A unique idea in a singular format.
Your average bubble has a whole host of applications you've probably never considered before. For creatures in the wild, however, bubbles aren't just for fun. They have practical applications ranging from the useful to the downright weird. Systematically author Fiona Bayrock introduces readers to animals like the star-nosed mole, who blows bubbles out its nose, then sucks them back in to smell for food. Or consider the rattlebox moth whose bad-tasting bubbles are so nasty even spiders will cut them free from their webs. One by one, Bayrock introduces us to bubble utilizers, ending with the only creature that uses bubbles to save other species: humans. Illustrator Carolyn Conahan provides light-hearted commentary and watercolors to complement Bayrock's text. The end of the book contains additional facts about each of these "bubble makers", including size, location, and "Amazing Facts". There is also a Glossary/Index.
The format's smart. Each section begins with a sentence explaining what these bubbles can do. "Bubbles Are For Sailing", "Bubbles Are For Breathing", "Bubbles Are For Tasting - Yuck!" That sort of thing. Bayrock then uses a very natural easygoing literary style to describe precisely what makes each of these bubble-users unique. Her text is always engaging, even when the featured creature is as average as a Homo sapien. Bayrock also has a way of phrasing a section just right. The Pearl Gourami two-page spread is preceded by the introduction "Bubbles Are For Shooting Hoops". And sure enough she makes a pretty strong case for how one would consider this fish an expert basketball player. I imagine that even if a child initially picks up this book because it contains a favorite animal of theirs (like a sea otter or a dolphin) they'll find themselves drawn to other sections of the book. After all, it's hard to resist farting fish communication techniques or frogs that begin life by diving.
You will note when you read the book that for each animal there's some dialogue coming from the illustrations often pertaining to the text. At first I suspected that somewhere along the line the proposition was made to spice up Conahan's lovely watercolors with this small amusing commentary from the creatures involved. These usually take the form of speech bubbles (ha ha), and are not too dissimilar from the kind of thing one sees in the margins of Cricket Magazine, the literary mag for kids. Then I remembered something: illustrator Carolyn Conahan is actually the staff illustrator for Cricket. Why, she's probably more than comfortable drawing natural creatures with snarky attitudes and quick-witted commentary! Remembering that I realized that the format of this pictures must have been in place right from the start.
Seemingly simple, a closer examination of Conahan's art yields rewards. For example, there are the endpapers. At a glance I just saw two kids drawing a mural on a wall, one of them painting and the other one blowing bubbles for fun. Looking closer, though, I see that Conahan has actually worked in all sixteen of the different critters into that mural. It's actually a good way to determine how many of these bubble lovers are sea-based (twelve) and how many make do on the land (four). Her natural world is rendered in soft greens and blues, working in the whirling swirling ocean currents that make so many of these bubbles possible. In the opening image we see a girl blowing them, one floating directly in front of her eye. Considering how beautiful bubbles are, and how they have a way of whirling and swirling colors and light together, I felt a little sad that these bubbles didn't try for a little real world iridescence. Then again, it's not that kind of art style, and it's wrong to critique an artist for having their own way of looking at the world and not someone else's. Still, a little whirly swirly color would have been cool.
I can't imagine that there are many schools out there where kids are handed an assignment to read a book about fine n' fancy bubble makers. What I can imagine are scores of kids who will think that bubbles make for some pretty funny stories. For the wildlife-minded child, Bubble Homes and Fish Farts takes the natural world and gives it a whole new spin. Silly and serious all at once, it may not be for every child, but for some it's bound to provide info they can't find anywhere else. Or certainly, not as well.
Ages 5-9.

I did Bubble Homes and Fish Farts at the Bubble themed Family Storytime at SH. The kids thought the title was hilarious. Before I read the book, I told parents and caregivers that you don't always have to read every single page or every word on a page to make a book fun, interesting, or educational for kids. Especially with this book, there's a lot of pages and toddlers might not have the attention span for a book so long. I skipped most pages, and only read all of the first page, and all of page 24 (because that was the page about the herring who use flatulence to communicate to one another!). I ended with the herring page. For the pages I did read, I read the part that said "Bubbles are for...," and to make it more interactive, I asked the kids if they knew what animal was on the page, or if they could guess what that animal used bubbles for. The kids had a great time guessing, and laughed at the farting/talking herring part!

Despite the funny title, there is much to learn in this outstanding science book. The ways various water creatures (some examples: violet sea snail, juniper spittlebug, and snapping shrimp) use or produce bubbles to find food or provide protective camouflage are nothing short of amazing. The illustrations by Carolyn Conahan are lovely, full of shades of blue and green (Most are set underwater), with little speech bubbles presenting the alleged point of view of the animal. Lots of new information in this book.

(Jasper is a Non-Speaking Autistic, I will edit this once he is open/if he so chooses)
This was a Jasper pick at the library! And WOW he and I both learned a LOT. It was not as SILLY as the title portrays, it was so much insightful information!!! He and I were hooked.

Quick! What’s used for communication, transportation, self defence, sound-dampening, warmth, entertainment and hatching and doesn’t cost a cent? If you didn’t say “bubbles” - and even if you did - you will be blown away (how could we resist?) by this beautifully illustrated and light hearted look at the ingenious uses of suds in the wild.

Using the convention “Bubbles are for…,” Bayrock describes what are likely little-known facts about how fresh- and salt-water animals use bubbles to, among other things, stay warm, defend themselves, protect their young, and communicate (that’s where the FaRTs come in – it’s not what you think!) Each of the 16 species gets a double-page spread with a paragraph describing how it uses bubbles in its daily life.
Before the reader even gets to the title page, he is treated to a double-page spread of Conahan’s pastel watercolor art of children painting a mural of happy animals. On subsequent pages, the animals make relevant and amusing comments to the reader in – what else – bubble thoughts! Each creature is illustrated in action, using bubbles in its particular way and as described in the text, thus reinforcing the information.
Supporting material in the back are a combination glossary/index; an acknowledgement page listing the 20 scientists from around the world that Bayrock consulted, including their positions and university or museum affiliations; and additional facts about the animals: their Latin names, types of habitat, geographic locations, and physical size. Conahan’s whimsical illustrations carry on throughout these end materials.
Although not an absolute essential purchase, Bayrock’s book sure is educational, interesting, and a lot of fun! Put this in the hands of curious kids ages 7 to 10. The title will grab their attention quickly, the illustrations will keep it, and the information will amaze them.

SUMMARY:
A nonfiction, informative book all about how fresh and sea-water animals use bubbles under water. Water spiders sue them for homes, dolphins for play, and even shrimp use bubbles as a form of communication. They are used to keep certain animals warm, while others use them as protective camouflage. In fact, there are 16 different animals that use bubbles in one way or another. Whatever the reason, one thing is certain, the common bubble has a multitude of uses.
EVALUATION:
If the title doesn't draw children in, I don't know what will! However, kids will soon find that the word "fart" actually stands for a form of communication...something they would never have known unless they were drawn in by a cleverly-worded title. What is great about this book, is that the author chose an original and fun topic to write about. Rather than another "sea creatures" book, this is unique and enjoyable for many ages. The sections are smartly subtitled, letting the reader know what purpose the bubble will be used for. Clever use of speech "bubbles" as well. Definitely for advanced readers unless teacher plans to guide reader. Contains advanced vocabulary.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. What are some uses for a bubble?
2. What do humans use bubbles for?
3. What are three ocean animals?
4. What are three fresh water animals?

A new nonfiction book about how all different kinds of animals use bubbles. Some use them for survival, others for communication, and others just for fun! There is just enough information about each type of animal—one paragraph. The last few pages contain one more fun fact about each animal, as well as the habitat, where in the world they live, and average size measurements. There is also a pretty good glossary. Illustrations are sweet drawings, often with the animals using talk “bubbles” to add a joke. A great one to advertise to the 3rd/4th grade set, the title alone will hook a lot of kids, and reading the section on herring will really reel them in.

Bubble Homes and Fish Farts by Fiona Bayrock
"Bubbles are soft and squishy and full of air. They shimmer. They float. And they are very handy. Animals make bubbles, ride bubbles, breathe bubbles, and even live in bubbles. Animals use bubbles in amazing ways."
Each two page spread tells about another way an animal uses bubbles. There is a paragraph full of fascinating text and an overblown picture to help explain the difficult parts, with a speech bubble (of course!) to add a little more information.
The back of the book has additional facts about bubble makers along with a glossary and a list of acknowledgments to those who helped the author in writing the book.

"Bubble Homes and Fish Farts" written by Fiona Bayrock and illustrated by Carolyn Conahan is a great book full of great information! My favorite thing in this book are the illustrations and word bubbles on each page. The book gives 16 different ocean animals and different uses of bubbles. The front cover perfectly displays what the title means. Each page has a different sea creature with a different usage of bubble, along with the scientific name. Not only was this informational, but it was eye-appealing and interesting! In the back of the book there is a glossary with more information on the certain creatures. I would highly recommend having this book in my classroom or library!
January 23, 2016
With a title like this, readers are sure to be intrigued, and this informational picture book does not disappoint. Each 2-page spread highlights a different creature and the way(s) it uses bubbles. You'll learn about bubble nests, and bubble scenting, and bubble walking, as well as bubble communication and bubbly play. "Bubble Homes and Fish Farts" demonstrates that we live in a fascinating world, and should encourage young scientists to make their own observations and ask lots of questions about it. More facts about each species are included at the end, as well as a glossary and index. This will appeal to curious minds!

Catching food, breathing, and staying safe from predators are just a few of the ways animals use bubbles! Accompanied by bright, buoyant artwork, Fiona Bayrock gives us a fun look at many different animals and their diverse uses for bubbles. This one will please any young animal lover.

What a wonderful non-fiction book for kids! Each two-page spread displays informative information and pictures describing one water animal--some unexpected--and how each animal uses bubbles to survive. My third graders will laugh uproariously but love the page about herring using flatulence, or Fast Repetitive Ticks (FaRTs,)to talk. The book makes learning new facts terribly interesting by inviting the reader right into the natural world!
July 24, 2013
The title alone should draw in children. Who doesn't like to read about farts. When kids actually a begin to look at the pictures, they learn that the farts are actually a form of communication for herring. Kids will also learn the amazing ways animals both in the water and out of the water use bubbles to find food, as protection, for camouflage, and for nesting. A food reading. Even for second and third grade.

I'll be honest, I really checked this book out because of the title. It just grabbed my attention. And it indeed is an interesting book (the "farting" fish are only one of the many creatures that are featured). I had fun reading about animals and creatures I didn't even know existed. The illustrations are well done and humorous.
April 16, 2012
This non-fiction picture book is another great book to have in a classroom when introducing science! It mixes great humor with facts that students will appreciate for learning. This book talks all about life under the water and is great for students because it's funny, but they are also learning important facts!
January 7, 2014
Who knew bubbles are so useful? To animals who live in and near the water, bubbles are a necessity! Snails use them as magic carpets, otters use them as insulation in their fur since they lack a fat layer to keep them warm, and fish use them to play with. The title may be off-putting for an adult, but I bet kids (read--boys)love it & will learn a lot from it!
August 9, 2015
Each double-page spread provides lively/appealing illustatons of a critter and habitat, including common/scientific names. Text tells how bubbles are made and used for adaptation/survival.
Bonus pages at the back feature additional "bubble-makers", along with a simple but scientificly accurate glossary, impressive acknowledgments, & special thanks for great illustrations.

Who knew bubbles could be so fascinating?! This book is filled with intriguing ways that bubbles are used by all sorts of animals. Each animal and use has its own 2-page spread. If this book is displayed often, I'm certain it will circulate a lot!
August 19, 2009
Big fans of random or not so random animal facts in our house - and who could resist a title like this? Lots of interesting facts about critters who have bubble habitats or habits with appealing illustrations.
September 13, 2009
What a great premise! How do various critters use bubbles in their everyday lives? This picturebook tells about how animals, both on land and in the water, use bubbles to breathe, to travel, to live in, and even to play with. Ingenious and fascinating!

This book is about bubbles and how animals use bubbles. My favorite part was the basketball one and also the spider web one. I liked with the bottlenose dolphins playing with bubbles the best.

3.5 stars This non-fiction book is a good read aloud choice for 1st- 3rd graders. Each spread has a paragraph explaining how different animals use bubbles. It has a slightly gross factor the children will love. It is also interesting. Third grade and up will enjoy this one on their own.
