Pop! The Invention of Bubblegum is a sweet and true tale of a young accountant’s plucky determination to make something special out of chewing gum.  The accompanying illustrations are just as compelling; the settings the author/illustrator depicts are simple yet also convey a sense of offices, candy shops, and outfits past.

And, we also have another recent release of Meghan McCarthy’s, Seabiscuit: the Wonder Horse, if you’re looking for more of her googly-eyed characters!

See if it’s in.
