Illustrated by
Matt Rockefeller.
Dewey loves popping bubbles. One day, a bubble escapes him un-popped and the boy goes to humorously extraordinary lengths (and heights) in pursuit of it. This simple tall-tale theme, the repetition of the text, and the series of airborne vehicles Dewey boards on his popping quest should all appeal to young picture-book crowds. Rockefeller’s digital illustrations are cinematic and beautifully detailed.
