You Can’t Kiss a Bubble

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. “Looking for great poetry books in prose? Do not look further. You will fall in love with the story and the illustrations – both as gentle and lyrical as a bubble. With its well-chosen words and rhythm, this little story could be your child’s perfect companion. True, you can’t take a bubble to a friend’s house. But you can always take YOU CAN’T KISS A BUBBLE to a friend’s house and read it. Just the two of you. And make some bubbles after that. Bravo, Karen!” — Marin Dormonkow, Creative Director, Fontreal Books “Siski Kalla’s delightful illustrations bring this imaginative tale to life. The girl in this story has a lot to learn about soap bubbles – for example, it’s easy to catch one if you rub your hands with bubble stuff first. But she knows the important stuff. Things don’t have to last a long time to be enjoyed. Things don’t have to be predictable to be beautiful. Soap bubbles are fun to watch and you can dance with them. Soap bubbles are a metaphor for the beauty of life that a young child can appreciate. I highly recommend You Can’t Kiss a Bubble by Karen A. Wyle to anyone who has ever played with soap bubbles or anyone who has watched others enjoy this ephemeral treat.” — Readers’ Favorite five-star review
