Pop!: The Invention of Bubble Gum

by Meghan Mccarthy

Description

Pop! The Invention of Bubble Gum traces the surprising story behind a beloved childhood treat, following the people, ideas, and experiments that turned a simple confection into a cultural phenomenon. With a lively, kid-friendly approach, it explores how invention happens—through curiosity, persistence, and the willingness to try again when something doesn’t work. Along the way, readers learn about science and creativity in everyday life, from the chemistry of flavors to the mechanics of blowing bubbles. Meghan McCarthy’s engaging, accessible storytelling brings history to life with playful energy and clear, fascinating details.
