Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K-A fast-paced, rhyming story with vibrant, bouncing illustrations. A toad begins the tale about a gob of bubble gum found on the road. Before long, the little creature gets stuck, is joined by a shrew, a goose, a bee, and a crow. A truck is zooming down the road so the only way out of this sticky predicament is to chew, chew, chew. That is just what the animals do until a bear comes by and more trouble seems imminent. Fortunately, it gets stuck, a hen comes along, and the adventure begins anew. Enjoyable and energetic, this repetitive tale is just the kind of wacky fun that young children love.

From Booklist

PreS-Gr. 1. In this rollicking tale, a blob of pink bubble gum melting in the middle of the road causes big trouble for five animals that get stuck in the "chewy-gooey icky-sticky" mess. Wheeler's snappy rhyming verse, loaded with silly words and onomatopoeia, begs to be read aloud: "Yuck! Ew! The Shrew's stuck, too! / Gooey shrew, gooey shrew / Pointy-nose-all-gluey shrew / Stomping, shouting 'FOOEY!' shrew / Can't get loose." The clever language is just part of the appeal of this well-designed picture book. Creative variations in size, style, and placement of text add visual excitement, as do the bold colors and patterns of Huliska-Beith's acrylic-and-fabric collage illustrations. Wildly exaggerated expressions and body language enhance the slapstick nature of the story and provide plot clues for pre-readers who are paging through on their own. Lauren Peterson

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is a favorite- even for moms & dads!, April 15, 2005
By One honest chic (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
We checked this one out from the library on a whim just because we thought the name looked fun. Wow! This is such a cute, entertaining, funny, fun to read book! My 2 year old loves it and we giggle every time we read- which so far has been numerous time a day. The rhyming is fun and not at all annoying, like one of the other reviews mentioned. We love books & this one is definitely one of our favorites! I definitely recommend it to all book lovers and for all ages as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful!, August 10, 2004
Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum is a delightful story about a blob of icky sticky bubble gum in the middle of the road. One by one, various animals walking by get stuck in the gum, and can't get out. When a truck comes along, they blow a bubble and float out of the way, only to have a big bottomed bear pop the bubble to try to catch them. However, the bear then gets stuck, and all the animals get away.

My daughter loves this story, and it's quickly becoming one of her favorite books. The rhyming makes it easy for her to remember and "read" along. I enjoyed reading this as well, it's an entertaining story and very well written. A must have for your toddler/preschooler! (and I don't say must have often, so GET IT!)
