When puppy woke up from a nap, he saw a bubble.

And so begins the tale of a little puppy on a big adventure.

The little bubbles are a curiosity to him and they look like fun - even though they keep disappearing!

Well, what's a little puppy to do except try to find them! And...scare them?

Adorable story about the search for bubbles. Puppy uses lots of sounds in his search. Charming illustrations compliment the adventure which is an excuse to get used to saying new sounds. Erica Graham uses her background as a speech therapist to introduce children to sounds that will lead to speech.

This book is about a dog and his dog family, so of course, I had to read it. This is an adorable children's story. More importantly, it's a book that can be used by anyone learning to read or working on a speech impediment.

Adorable! That’s the word that comes to mind as you read Talking Tales: Puppy’s Bubble by Erica Graham. Because seriously, who doesn’t love puppies and bubbles? Graham lovingly blends together a bit of speech therapy with an easy to read story great for any toddler.
As a teacher, I found Graham’s approach interesting. For anyone that hasn’t had formal training in child care, Graham takes a moment at the beginning of her book to explain sound formation and word building. But don’t be fooled, Puppy ...more

This is a cute short story. It is great for speech development. I wish I had this book when my daughter was smaller. She had cleft palate, so sounds and words were hard for her. This book is great for repetitive sounds and words. It would go along nicely with blowing bubbles activity after reading the book. I remember our speech therapist bringing bubbles along for treatments often, so this book would have been a great resource.
