The King's Bubbles by Ruth Paul
"Perfect and round
A sigh without sound
A circle of air
Simple and spare"
The King's Bubbles by Ruth Paul
"Perfect and round
A sigh without sound

King Bill is dismayed and becomes very bad tempered when all the beautiful bubbles he creates float away. After demanding his advisors find a solution he finally discovers for himself that letting them go was what made them such fun.
This rhyming picture book with its lovely illustrations would make a very good read aloud for junior classes.
