After a variety of animals get stuck one by one in bubble gum melting in the road, they must survive encounters with a big blue truck and a burly black bear.
Gum. It’s been around for centuries—from the ancient Greeks to the American Indians, everyone’s chewed it. But the best kind of gum—bubble gum!—wasn’t invented until 1928, when an enterprising young accountant at Fleer Gum and Candy used his spare time to experiment with different recipes. Bubble-blowing kids everywhere will be delighted with Megan McCarthy’s entertaining pictures and engaging fun facts as they learn the history behind the pink perfection of Dubble Bubble.
Life gives everyone challenges and there are many ways to over come the difficult ones. Children seem to find the easiest way with a little thought, a moment of quiet and the problem is solved.

The day ends barefoot at the library, trying to escape any more Bubble Gum on her granddaughter's shoe.
