Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Description:
“What can you do with a bubble?
Many children – and adults – find bubbles fascinating, even
enchanting. And yet they’re so different from most things we enjoy, lasting
only a few moments. This little book, with its lovely and whimsical
illustrations, looks at both the charm and the transitory nature of bubbles,
and reminds us that we can take joy even in the impermanent.”
Author:
“Karen A. Wyle was born a Connecticut Yankee, but eventually settled
in Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University. She now considers herself
a Hoosier. She is an appellate attorney, photographer, political junkie, and
mother of two daughters.
Wyle's fiction includes various varieties of science fiction,
historical romance, and afterlife fantasy -- so far. She has also written one
nonfiction resource, explaining American law to authors, law students, and
anyone else interested in better understanding the legal landscape.”
Appraisal:
I recruited LBG, my 8-year-old granddaughter, to read this with me and
to get her impressions. She had a fun time taking turns reading the story out
loud with me and was able to work out the few words that stretched her reading
vocabulary. (That there were a few of those was a positive, in my mind.) LBG was
amused by the story and thought it was deserving of a high ranking. I’m not
sure if she could put into words the lesson that is inherent in the story, but
I did get the feeling that she understood that lesson on some level.
