Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Autumn 2009 Kids' Indie Next ListWhen a boy named Harry
sneaks out of bed one night
with his best friend, Horsie,
to play with his Super Duper Bubble Blooper --
an out-of-this-world adventure begins!
Illustrated with retro-comic art, this is a charming story about the power of friendship and imagination from a talented new team.
Katie Van Camp is a former dancer who, at the age of eighteen, moved to Shanghai, China, to open a ballet school and teach kindergarten. A few years later she headed to New York to work as an au pair for a little boy named Harry (and his best friend, Horsie), who inspired her to write both Cookiebot! and her first picture book, Harry and Horsie. Katie is now back in Asia, writing and teaching. She currently calls Tokyo home.
Van Camp’s winsome text about a boy’s spirited imagination is propelled by Agnew’s dynamic illustrations...Young boys and space adventurers will adore this captivating, exuberant and contagious tale.
