Bubble Homes and Fish Farts by Fiona Bayrock

Published by Charlesbridge: 2009

Non-fiction

Summary:

This book explores bubbles and their use in animal life. The book takes the reader through how a variety of different animals use animals, all in somewhat different ways! From sea snails, to seals, and treefrogs each of them use bubbles to help them survive. This fun and informative book adds another element of fun and use to the classic bubbles children enjoy.

Response:

I found this to be a cute and fun book about bubbles. Even as an adult I learned about many new uses of bubbles that I was completely unaware of before. The book is laid out in a very fun manner with animals thought bubbles adding a little humour to the story. The pictures are very appealing and the text is laid out well.

For the Reader:

I would recommend this book for use with children from grade two to four. It can be used as a fairly basic resource book and is written in a more simple language. I am sure a greater range of children would enjoy this book, but I feel it would be primarily appropriate for use in this age range.
