Susie Wilde - Children's Literature
Lisa Wheeler, a mistress of word play for the young, also has a new silly story, Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum which features a number of animals stuck and struggling to free themselves from "chewy-gooey", "icky-sticky" melty gum on the road. There are lots of glorious rhythms as these animals' bad situations mount too dire. Will they escape the honk-honk truck bearing down on them? They must work together to "chew, and chew, and chew and chew and chew" to create a "light and lifty," "nifty drifty" bubble which "bobbles through the air". But the story doesn't end there, there's a hint of more sticky mayhem in the animal world! 2004, Little Brown, Ages 2 to 4.
