I have read this book many times because it was gifted to my daughter years ago and it has become a perennial favorite. It popped back up again this week as she gets to take book to daycare as part of being "explorer of the week" (she also made an "all about me" poster with a self portrait that looks like something out of Burning Man, but I digress).


Its a cute story about being yourself & not caring what others think. It glomps the reader over the head with its message, but it has captured its demo in my house so A+ solely for that.

This book is all about a Bubblegum Bear who has no care. He never lets anything ruin his day. He is happy with who he is and doesn't care what other people think.

I rate this book 5 stars. This is such a great book for elementary students. This book helps teach students that it doesn't matter what other people think.

I think this book gave a really cute message to its readers about how to let things affect your day. Bubblegum Bear always decided that it was going to be a good day or to make the best out of a situation. Since some kids need help picking htemselves up after an upsetting event, this book is a great choice to keep kids going!

The story follows a bear named Ralph who loves to blow bubble gum bubbles, but can't seem to get the hang of it. He goes on a journey to find the perfect gum and meets a variety of friends along the way who offer him advice and encouragement. The book has a hidden but valuable message of persistence and never giving up on your dreams.

This is a cute story about Bubblegum Bear, a pink bear who doesn’t let little things ruin their day. Bubblegum is always trying to make the best out of any situation, and helps kids realize that they can still have fun even if things don’t go quite according to plan. The illustrations are fun and colorful and the text is easy for young readers to understand.

This book was brought to our elementary library book swap and it was a hit. It is a fun and colorful book about strong self-concept for young children. I plan to buy a copy for our library collection. I think it will be very popular.

Bubblegum is a bear that is always himself. This is probabby my all time favorite book! The story and the images are so cute. The illistrations are bright and colorful. The story follows Bubblegum as he does all kinds of things, he might not be good at everything but he will always do his best. This book will never get old and will always be one that I pull from the shelf.
