This is a book that you wished you had in middle school. All the other kids will be amazed and envious of your cool bubble writing. There are bubble types to fit any project, message or theme. All with large enough illustrations for you to copy with ease. After trying out so many different styles you will gain skill and feel confident to invent your own bubble fonts! Highly recommend as a gift to yourself or for any kid,

Ah, bubble writing takes me back! If you live under a rock, bubble writing is hand-drawn letters that are so round and puffy that they look as if they are made from bubbles. It is also big FUN (once you learn how) and will enable you to make super sweet posters and design awesome logos. In short, it is the key to popularity. Okay, not really. But it is super fun and makes you feel artistically superior to the kids who live under rocks. Plus, Linda Scott guarantees it will make you happier. I feel 40% happier now and expect a 13% increase once I master that rainbow font.
You might think you master the basic bubble letter and you're done. Not so fast. There are 40 hand-drawn typefaces featured here, including robots, lightning strike, caveman, and ribbons. I like that she includes a font for darn near every season/holiday. It is hard to pick favorites, but if pressed, mine would be summer cakes (where every letter is covered with a small cap of sprinkles) and cactus.
Each font page has the entire alphabet written out, so you can see how to make every single letter. Directly above that are several inches of neat lines - space for practicing that font. Tucked in between all those fonts pages are goofy little projects: pages to make your own comic book, bookmarks, door hangers, holiday cards, party invitations, and much more. Scott does a wonderful job of not only presenting the fonts, but also demonstrating creative ways in which to employ them.
In this age of technology, you may be surprised to discover how cool your kids think it is to learn handwritten fonts. I distinctly remember someone showing me how to make bubble letters when I was in seventh grade, and immediately set to impressing my friends. I would have been a rock star with this book!

Got this for my friend because she's a casual doodler. She really seemed to like it, and I hope she uses it.

a great gift for anyone who loves to play around with lettering
When I was in junior high school, I longed to be one of those girls with super cute handwriting. I tried to practice my bubble writing but I never really got anywhere with it. Read more

Fun book but limited content
This book was so much fun to work through. My only issue is that some of the lettering techniques in the book basically repeated themselves, just with different names.
