This story uses a lot of the readers imagination and really helps the reader develop their own perspective through out the story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I think that most children of all ages will as well.

Chavela and the Magic Bubble was a very cute story. The little girl in the story chews magical gum to travel. She travels to different locations. I thought they story was very educational. I enjoyed seeing the different places she went and the Spanish words. This story would be great for an elementary class. ( )

A little girl chews some magic bubblegum and travels to the Yucatan jungle where she sees the chicleros (workers) who get the chickle (sap) from the sapodilla trees to make gum. There are a lot of Spanish words in the story and the little girl is actually traveling back in time to see her abuela as a child.
