Big Bad Bubble

Author: Adam RubinIllustrator: Daniel Salmieri

Did you know that when you pop a bubble it disappears, but then it re-appears in La La land … where the monsters live! This is terrible news for the monsters because since Mogo had a bad experience with some bubble-gum, he’s convinced all the other monster that bubbles are terrifying! Even though Yerburt has big fangs and Froofle has giant claws and Wumpus is enormous, they are all scared of harmless little bubbles.

Children and adults alike will enjoy the sheer absurdity of this barmy and brilliant picture book that understands that sometimes you just can’t help what you’re scared of. The monsters are marvellously odd and the cheeky ending will have everyone in stitches. The narrative voice that talks directly to the reader makes the whole reading experience a hoot. A strong dose of pure, simple and silly, fantastically good picture-book fun for all the family.
