Trouble Gum (Hardcover)

~ Matthew Cordell (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Packs plenty of pop.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Working with a stripped-down palette of black, white, red and bubblegum pink, Cordell's (Mighty Casey) first solo effort evokes irrepressible boyhood with laughs throughout.”—Publishers Weekly

“Irresistible…graphically dynamic.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Product Description

It’s raining.

There’s nothing to do.

Ruben is bored.

But things start looking up when his grandmother gives him and his little brother some gum.

Gum is fun. There’s just one problem with gum—it tends to make a mess!

 

Uh-oh. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Bubblicious, September 2, 2009

By	Elayne Shapiro (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Find a two year old, a four year old or a six year old to read this book to. Find a 62 year old. Find someone, because Trouble Gum is that cute! Not cute: hilarious! The pictures capture family relationships and kid-ness whimsically. Big brother, Reuben (a piglet), teaches little brother, Julius (also a piglet), the joy and spectacularlessness of bubble-gum blowing. They love bubble gum; I love bubble gum. The pictures and graphics of this book zing! You will love reading Trouble Gum, and the title says it all!
