Bubble Trouble

Author: Jill EggletonIllustrator: Philip Webb

Monkey gave Crocodile some bubble gum and he said, “You can chew, chew, chew, but… don’t’ blow a bubble! A bubble is trouble!”

But… Crocodile blew a bubble. He blew and he blew and he wouldn’t stop.

The bubble got bigger and bigger and bigger,

then…

… POP! Wh-o-o-sh went the leaves off the tree.

Monkey was mad! He shouted, “Don’t blow a bubble! A bubble is trouble!”

But… Crocodile blew a bubble. He blew and he blew, and he wouldn’t stop.

The bubble got bigger and bigger and bigger,

then…

… POP! Wh-o-o-sh went the feathers off the parrot!

Monkey was mad! He shouted, “Don’t blow a bubble! A bubble is trouble!”

But… Crocodile blew a bubble. He blew and he blew, and he wouldn’t stop.

The bubble got bigger and bigger and bigger,

then…

… POP! Wh-o-o-sh went the hair off the monkey.

Monkey was really mad! He was so mad that he tied up Crocodile’s mouth.

“See!” said Monkey. “A bubble is trouble! Big, big trouble!” And Crocodile went . . .“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!”
