BubbleCat Grows a Garden

by Sean Charmatz, Sean Charmatz (Illustrator)

Overview

Being part bubble and part cat can be one whole problem in this new BubbleCat mixed-media tale! When he attempts to grow a garden, BubbleCat will try everything to get his flowers to bloom... except perhaps the most obvious idea!

BubbleCat may be made out of a bubble, but that doesn't stop him from growing his own garden! Only, after he plants all his flowers, none of them start to bloom. Ah, bubbles! At the advice of his friends, BubbleCat tries everything he can think of to help them grow – even playing the flowers an encouraging song! – but it may be that the simplest act is all he needs...

Toddler-PreS—BubbleCat learns a lesson in patience. Illustrations of a cartoon-created blue cat are combined with photographs to place our hero in an empty garden. BubbleCat is excited to grow "every flower you can think of!" He becomes increasingly disillusioned as multiple attempts to encourage growth do not seem to pay off in any way. Eventually, with the encouragement of his friends, the flowers bloom and a lesson is learned. VERDICT A cute story, a plucky main character, and surprising illustrations make this a winner.—John Scott
