Okay, real talk—who doesn’t love bubbles? Ben Clanton totally gets it in his book “Bubbles!” (Which, side note, is part of his super popular “Narwhal and Jelly” series—but this one’s a standalone gem.) The story’s got these adorably quirky characters who are basically bubble scientists. They experiment, they giggle, they probably get soap in their eyes (we’ve all been there).

The art? So vibrant you’ll wanna lick the pages (don’t). Clanton’s signature doodle-style makes every bubble look good enough to… well, pop. And the text? Short, sweet, and packed with giggles. It’s like if a Pixar short became a board book—zero pretension, all joy.

Fun fact: Teachers use this for STEM activities about surface tension (fancy words for “why bubbles don’t instantly explode”). But kids just think it’s about the thrill of chasing floating rainbows. Pro tip: Pair reading this with actual bubble-blowing for maximum chaos/happiness. Just maybe outdoors?

Bottom line: It’s the literary equivalent of a sunny afternoon with no responsibilities. Pure, fizzy delight.
