Pop!: The Invention of Bubble Gum

Gum. It's been around for centuries-from the ancient Greeks to the American Indians, everyone's chewed it.

Bubble-blowing kids everywhere will be delighted with Megan McCarthy's entertaining pictures and engaging fun facts as they learn the history behind the pink perfection of Dubble Bubble.
