Bubble Mud and Other Poems                                        
By Heather Grace Stewart
Illustrated by Kym Jones

From taking a bath in glorious Bubble Mud, to dancing all night long with a very hip grandmother, children will be tickled by the colourful stories and illustrations which jump from the pages of Bubble Mud and Other Poems. Whimsical, lyrical, and thought-provoking, this anthology of poems is a necessary addition to the home library or primary school classroom. Bubble Mud and Other Poems contains more than forty web links to educational web sites for children to learn more about the words and concepts used in this anthology. A full teacher's manual and activities accompany this book.
    

These delightful poems will send you back to your younger years and make you feel like a kid again! Read them to your child and let them have the experience of youthfulness through words. Heather Grace's ability to capture playful, feel good stories in poem, is worth the time and effort she put into this book. Great for children and adults alike!--Book Review Cafe

Heather Grace's book BUBBLE MUD AND OTHER POEMS is a charming book for young children. The colorful illustrations, oddball, and quirky poems are sure to keep your child's attention. It also features over forty web links to educational websites where children and their parents can learn more about the words and views that are used in this creative book. I loved the parent/teacher manual that accompanies every book, and my four and five year old enjoyed the activities such as coloring pages, puzzles, and word games. Read BUBBLE MUD AND OTHER POEMS by Heather Grace and find out what happens to all your old missing socks, or learn what little boys would rather do besides getting married when they grow up! The many poems are told from a child's perspective and you'll enjoy reading them with your child. Such poems include: playing hide and seek, learning how to do things on your own, taking a wild ride with a cool grandma, and taking a bubble mud bath. A child's mind is a complex place filled with the ability to imagine some of the weirdest subjects, and I believe that Ms. Grace has found her niche. This reviewer, and her children, highly recommends this book.--ASTORYWEAVER'S Book Reviews

Hi kids! Did you ever want to know how to ... make friends with a monkey? find a missing sock? survive a day with a groovy granny? Or did you ever wonder ... why there's always such a mess under your bed? what happens when you wake up with a zoo on your back? where butterflies go when summer is over? what boys would do rather than getting married? And do you enjoy playing games like word search and mix up? In short: do you want to have a whooping great time with quirky poems, beautiful drawings and lots of surprises? Then "Bubble Mud and Other Poems" is just what you need.

Children will be delighted with these cute poems written by Heather Grace. Grace gives her young readers 17 poems that will be sure to bring out the giggles and tickles. Kym Jones' illustrations give the poems even more giggles, with her bright colors and fun characters; this is a book that parents and children will love to discover together. Besides the wonderful poems, Grace also has provided her readers with word searches, activity sheets, and coloring pages. I printed out the sheets for my son, and he loves them. One of the coloring pages now hangs on my fridge. The activity sheets I admired. They are fun, but at the same time educational. One of the sheets is an understanding page; questions and answers pertaining to the poetry that the child just read. Grace then provides for the parents/teachers urls of educational resources. This is a perfect book for homeschooling children, and I highly recommend it. It is released next month, so it is perfect timing. Children will love the poems, and parents will love the worksheets that are included.--Danielle Naibert, Children's Book Site
