The Bubble Collector: Poems and Drawings by Vikram Madan

WINNER 2013 Moonbeam Silver Book Award for Children's Poetry

Welcome you who enter here

Come step right up and lend an ear

And in return, for just a while

I promise you shall laugh and smile...

Kids (and grown-ups too ) are going to laugh, smile, snicker, chortle, chuckle and giggle their way through the silly, the fantastical, and the plain old ordinary (e.g. spotting Abominable Snowman footprints in the front yard, grabbing a Dragon by the tail, trying to clone Dinosaurs, having a showdown with a Rubber Duck, dreading Dad's cooking, avoiding a haircut and more) in this fresh and inventive collection of one hundred original, humorous poems written and illustrated by poet and award-winning cartoonist Vikram Madan.

By combining playful, rhyming language with exuberant, cartoon-like drawings, tongue-in-cheek humor, and surprise twist-endings, Vikram Madan has created a fun and funny collection that is as clever as it is varied, and certain to delight readers of all ages over and over again.
