Nice early nonfiction about bubbles. Focuses mainly on soap bubbles, but also touches on carbonation and "blowing bubbles" in liquids like juice and milk. Simply explains the science, and gives activities and a bubble recipe at the end.

Didn’t read this but showed the photographs and did a little book talk instead during ST.

[Timothy Morrison]

These books are just so happy! They are so very clever and the pictures of children playing with science things is just so cute

[Abby Steele]

Pop! is a fun and interesting nonfiction book about bubbles. It talks about how they form, why they're round, and what makes them pop. It's great for young minds that are interested in science and has bright pictures and easy-to-read writing. A fun mix of learning and having fun!

This book shares a lot basic information on bubble facts. I shared this with a preschool crowd and skimmed some of the sentences to make it work for this age. Mostly likely this would appeal to kindergartners and older for information gathering.

The photos are color, large and perfect to show what is happening along with the text.

Read this one at school. Good solid non-fiction.

Great non-fiction book on bubbles and how they work. Would've been a good one to read as they play with bubble though. Or test out what you're reading about?

[Sue Poduska]

Well-researched and a lot of fun.

Simple non-fiction introduction to the science of bubbles. Great for Bubble themes
and activities!
