Bubble Homes and Fish Farts is an extremely fun non-fiction book about how different animals use bubbles in interesting ways. From a water spider building a bubble home under water to dolphins play a game with bubble, it can be seen that many animals use bubbles in ways people may not know about.
The illustrations by Carolyn Conahan are beautiful drawings made with mainly shades of blue and green since most of the pictures are in an under water setting. The illustrator was also clever in giving the animals speech bubbles provided the animal's point of view. They bring a really humorous aspect to the book.
Although, the title is questionable, the book is extremely interesting. This book is great when introducing animals that live in the water in science because it blends facts with humor in a way that will be interesting to young students. It includes facts about habitats, scientific names, survival, and adaption of animals.
