Paul Linnet was born in Brighton and grew up in the Midlands, reading Tintin and playing classic 80s video games, before becoming obsessed with scribbling, writing, guitars and motorcycles. Show the children how to burst the bubbles by clapping them between their hands and let them play ‘bubble tag’.

Try blowing bubbles through household items, such as spoons with holes, sieves, fly swatters and tea strainers. I think this is a really nice story for children to read, especially if a class are struggling to accept maybe a new child in the school that might stand out as being ‘different’. Not only is it funny, making it entertaining for little ones and adults alike, it's also the perfect excuse to give your little one a tickle or two (which seemed to get my daughter even more interested in the story!And fingers mean finger puppets, finger painting, knitting, counting to ten, tickling, and all sorts of fun things. Watch how the bubble mix in the circular wand turns three dimensional as you blow, and look out for the moment when the soapy film seals to make a bubble and floats away from the wand.
