I'm 44 yrs old and I got one of these for me years ago and I'm on my 3rd one at least. It's a huge hit at every single party with every age...EVERY AGE! Everyone loves it and the kids? you better have some time on your hands. The author gives a proven bubbbble recipe that works far better than any pre-made bubble solution you will find anywhere and there really are certain factors that make bubble making better. In the right conditions you can literally make bubbles the size of a car and much bigger with perfect conditions. It's all laid out in the book and well worth every single penny bt far! In lousy conditions, you'll make bigger bubbles than probably ever seen in your life. This is a perfect gift for anyone. I guarantee the rating on this won't go below a 5 and if it does, check the other ratings from the person who gives it less than a fiver. If this happens it will be from a bitter person with little joy inside so give that person some lovins'. Very few things in life are a lock for goodness and fun. The Bubble Thing is one of those. P.S. Do it in a manner that the soap that spills doesn't drop anyone and if done on concrete, asphalt, etc., hose down afterward. It's vvvvery slippery.

This book SHOULD be titled: How To Get Your Kids to Play Outside for the Entire Day Without Whining! Making (and chasing) giant bubbles will literally keep your kids pleasantly occupied for hours, and they'll wake up the next morning wanting to do it again. This book is a brilliant companion on a summer camping trip or to help the babysitter deal with your rowdy bunch. It makes a great gift and is well worth the relatively cheap price tag.

Another triumph from Klutz!

Next time you have a party, you'll want this smile-maker around. All ages love it...it will break the ice because it is so unique everyone will want to try it. It does require the right conditions and lots of practice to get a humongous bubble, but just trying is the fun of it. The bubble on the book is a lofty goal in our opinion but inspiring nevertheless.

I bought a bubble gadget YEARS ago and did make incredibly huge bubbles like the author claims is possible, and spent MANY hours playing with it, HOWEVER what changed is the dish soap used to make the bubble solution. Remember when all the dish soaps went "Ultra", as in ultra concentrated and grease cutting? Truly giant bubbles were forever ruined by this! I even called one of the big soap companies and begged them to sell the old recipe as "giant bubble soap", but they wouldn't do it. Maybe the author could use some of his "bubbleologist" (expert bubble maker) pull to persuade them? (Hint: the initals are J&J) I tried for so long to make good bubbles after the switch, but lost interest because they just didn't compare to the old version.

Brings back many fond memories of when I was a child. I had this same book and kit. I spent many many many hours blowing bubbles and entertaining the younger children in the neighborhood. Same great quality and easy to read book that teaches techniques and facts. The best bubble making formula has changed though, so don't go buy the ingredients until you read the new formula.

We have had a lot of fun with this product. The recipe for the bubble solution is easy and can be stored for weeks and it only takes a little practice to get the hang of making the big bubbles. Granted, I haven't had luck with making the 10 ft. bubbles they mention in the book, but you can get some really big ones! Keep in mind that humid weather is essential for these bubbles, if it's too dry it gets frustrating. We have had ours for a couple years and it still works great (just rinse the solution out of the wand when you're done) so I've started buying them as gifts. We love it!

My husband, I and our 7 year-old love this bubble book and wand. There is a recipe in the book for the bubble liquid and it works great. The wand is easy to use, and is easy enough that my daughter can make HUGE bubbles. This is my new "birthday gift" for kids. A great outdoor activity for the whole family! (Hint: Buy an extra wand...it's worth it!) The Amazon.com price for the book was the best I had found in April '08 when I bought it.

This is a wonderful book. The bubble recipe uses common household ingredients and the bubbles you can produce are entertaining for everyone. It's an absolute must-have for parents of small children.

This book and its accompanying bubble wand is terrific! My husband used it at a boys' camp where guys of all ages loved the monster bubbles. The bubble recipes included really worked well and the stories/advice included in the text are great. An all-around hit and a wonderful value.

I looked all over for this...this was the best price I could find. It makes FABULOUS bubbles and has a book with some scientific stuff in it for kids. I got it for a 7 year old's gift.
