Blue Bubble Gum follows one sticky piece of gum from the moment it’s chewed to all the places it ends up afterward. The story starts small, just “gum,” and keeps growing with every page, adding playful, sing-song words until the gum becomes this big, messy, funny nuisance. It sticks to shoes, clothes, and even hair. It rides through rain and roads, and before you know it, the gum’s journey turns into this wild chain of sticky adventures.

The rhythm in this book made me smile. The repetition feels like a chant, something kids would giggle through while pointing at each silly situation. The way the words build up, all gooey and goofy, makes it fun to read out loud. It reminded me of those tongue-twister rhymes you mess up but laugh at anyway. There’s no deep message here, and honestly, that’s kind of refreshing. It’s just pure play.

I started thinking about how it’s also a tiny lesson in consequences. The gum goes everywhere it shouldn’t, just like the messes kids get into when they don’t throw things away properly. The illustrations are charming, with a hand-drawn aesthetic that feels both classic and inviting, perfectly suited for a children’s picture book. The use of colored pencil on textured paper lends the art a warm, tactile quality that evokes a sense of nostalgia. The simple, earnest style creates an atmosphere of sweet simplicity and community that will undoubtedly capture the attention and hearts of young readers.

I’d recommend Blue Bubble Gum to parents of preschoolers or early readers who love silly rhymes and word play. It’s perfect for storytime when you want something short, rhythmic, and full of laughs. Kids will love saying “sticky-tacky, wicky-wacky” again and again, and adults might secretly enjoy it too.
