Bruel, Nick. Who is Melvin Bubble? Illustrated by the author. Roaring Book Press, 2006. ISBN 1-59643-116-4 $16.95 (Primary)
“Who is Melvin Bubble? Well that depends on who you ask.” His mother, his father and even his teddy bear have an opinion about Melvin. Bruel’s third picture book inspires the minds of old and young alike. As author and illustrator, Bruel knows how to choose fonts and colors that keeps the readers attention until the very last page. Bright, warm colors contrast with cool colors to get the reader wanting to learn more about Melvin. The use of extra large font throughout the story produces excitement in each of the characters “voices” as they tell about their relationships with Melvin. Seeing how others see Melvin is a wonderful look into the minds of young readers today.
