Bubbles are a natural subject for an early nonfiction book. In a clear, concise text, Bradley describes soap bubbles' properties and how they are formed, then discusses bubbles created with other liquids, such as water and milk. Miller's photographs make the most of this attractive topic and enhance the text. A recipe for bubble solution is included, as are a few simple activities that further illustrate the concepts.

An enthusiastic narrator presents basic facts about twins (the difference between fraternal and identical twins, problems of older siblings) in simple language, ending with a long note to parents emphasizing the need for all children to learn about twins and to understand that twins are individuals, too. A handsome design and crisp, oversized full-color photographs contribute to an appealing package.
