"Chewy-gooey bubble gum, / Icky-sticky bubble gum / Melting in the road." This rollicking, tongue-twisting rhyme notes the progression of animals that get themselves stuck in the enticing pink puddle and then have to chew like mad so they can blow a communal bubble and lift above an oncoming truck. Bold acrylic paintings in summertime colors depict the whole delicious mess.
