Fabulous book on an irresistable topic!
My new book is out TODAY!
This quirky picture book (ages 6-9) really pops, full as it is of fascinating bubbles—useful & entertaining, noisy & silencing, lifesaving & dangerous, microscopic & bigger than a sports stadium.
This Book Bubbles Over is illustrated by Robert Meganck & pub by Peachtree.
