Publisher's Synopsis
After a wonderful response to James first book ( Dragonfly Soup ) he is back with another. Just as fun. The Bubble Maker is 17 magical poems accompanied by 17 beautiful watercolor and ink illustrations by award winning artist James Keast. In the book you will encounter a boy floating on a wooden raft in the early morning, when out of the mist a ghost ship appears. What will he do, where will he go? You are walking past a graveyard, it is evening. You see a light blue glow coming from behind a gravestone. What could it be? Do you go investigate or do you run? I was sitting in the garden, I was sitting in my chair, I thought I saw something moving and then it wasn't there. I see some movement once again, what can it be? Can you imaging swinging on a star? A little girl finds a way to do it. Read along and find out how. Would you like to fly in a UFO? Find out what could happen if you take a that ride. What do you talk about to and old oak tree while you sit under him and drink your tea? A boy buys a large balloon, a great big wind blow's in and carries him up into the air. Where will it take him? How high will he go? How long will he be in the air, will he be there forever? Your hiding in a seashell deep beneath the sea, what do you think you would see? Do you like mushrooms? Well meet a boy that likes them so much he eats them with the most unlikely foods. Everyone needs a place to call their own, a place where you sit and enjoy some peace and quiet. Find out the hiding place of one young man. Do you like the sound of a grandfather clock? How about a cuckoo clock? But would you like to listen to them if they all went off at the same time? A ghost house, beasts, a fairy, and a girl named Buttercup are some of the other enchanting poems in this delightful book. The book is intended for younger children but can be appreciated by all ages.
