Pop!: The Invention of Bubble Gum

(2) K-3 In 1928 mild-mannered accountant/inventor Walter Diemer introduced bubble gum to the American public. This light-as-air biography covers a popular topic and a likable hero whose success comes through hard work, perseverance, and ingenuity. McCarthy's signature round-faced characters, with spherical insectlike eyes, suggest gumballs playfully rolling across each page. An author's note including interesting facts about chewing gum continues the good-humored theme. Bib.
