Pop, The Invention of Bubble Gum, by Meghan McCarthy, Ages 4-8, or anyone interested in bubble gum.


This book brings you on a journey through history: about bubble gum. From the ancient Greeks to the 1920's, the evolution of bubble gum unfolds
for readers to enjoy.  This is a great book for young scientists to
encourage creativity, or the history buffs that want to learn all about
how unexpected places can lead to the most interesting discoveries. 



Ling and Ting: Not Exactly the Same, by Grace Lin, Ages 4-8


 These two twins share many attributes, but each one is their own individual. This New York Times Bestseller, shares the story of two siblings that
have more differences than most would imagine.  A great story to teach
that each person is unique, and that you can never judge a book by it's
cover.
