Official synopsis Publisher
“Bubblegum, delicious,
Bubblegum delight,
Bubblegum de-lovely in the
Middle of the night…”
Three generations of Canadians have shouted, chanted, and whispered the irresistible lines of Dennis Lee. Boisterously original–and true to the spirit of childhood–Lee returns in Bubblegum Delicious to the joyous roots of his classic children’s poetry.
Using the rhythm of bouncing balls and schoolyard songs, Lee has created a collection with all the wonder and wistfulness of early years–from sublime goofiness to winsome poignancy
Illustrator David McPhail has created a complementary world, peopled with a young boy his beloved dog, and a wacky collection of psychedelic bugs. In turn, these bugs deliver their own brand of verse–a parade of bratty, hilarious quatrains that act as a delightful counterpoint to the whimsy and gentleness of the main poems.
Bubblegum Delicious is destined to become a classic of Canadian children’s literature.
