Blowing bubbles almost blows up a beautiful friendship. Pup-Pup, a dog, loves bubbles, and so does Pup-Pup's monkey friend Bobo. And even better, Pup-Pup loves to blow bubbles, and Bobo loves to pop them--that is, until Bobo insists on popping all the bubbles before Pup-Pup can enjoy them. When Pup-Pup brings in a "SUPER BUBBLE MIX" for making "super-strong bubbles" that "NO ONE can POP," the challenge is on. Can Bobo pop these new bubbles that Pup-Pup is working so hard to blow? No! And that creates quite a problem when Bobo becomes trapped inside a large bubble and begins to float away. After Pup-Pup rescues Bobo, the two friends recognize how important their friendship is and swear off bubbles…at least for a little while. Kicking off the Bobo and Pup-Pup series (No. 2 publishes simultaneously), this book consists of six short, fast-paced chapters generally with one or, sometimes, two short sentences on each page and plenty of pages of "PHOOO"ing (as Pup-Pup huffs and puffs), popping, and poking, all begging reader participation, for fun. Pup-Pup and Bobo are simply drawn, typically set against an ever changing solid-color background with minimal details other than bubbles. Continuity-minded readers will notice that the final illustration is inconsistent with the storyline, as it shows Pup-Pup easily popping bubbles made from the super-strong mix.
