As the boy in this story learns, blowing magic bubbles is a lot of fun--until one of those bubbles turns into a snake! His solution is: to blow a magic bubble that turns into a wild cat that chases the snake away. But what will he do with the vicious wild cat? Blow a bubble that turns into an elephant, of course! When the elephant gets raucous, he blows a bubble in the shape of a mouse to frighten the elephant away. Tired out from a day of bubble blowing, he pops the bubbles, pours out his magic solution, and heads home. After all, there is no such thing as magic bubbles--but a dragon that appears on the last page will make readers question that statement! Mercer Mayer's lively illustrations accompany this magical tale.
