There's just one problem with gum―it tends to make a mess!Uh-oh. . . .Praise for Trouble Gum:“Packs plenty of pop.” ―Kirkus Reviews“Working with a stripped-down palette of black, white, red and bubblegum pink, Cordell's (Mighty Casey) first solo effort evokes irrepressible boyhood with laughs throughout. . . . Dozens of Steig-like pen and ink drawings show the antics of the partners in crime.” ―Publishers Weekly“Irresistible. . . . graphically dynamic.” ―San Francisco Chronicle“The simple story line and liberal use of white space open plenty of opportunities for Cordell's winsome art to generate laughs. . . . A few understated sibling notes sneak into the minimal presentation as well, making this book more than just a pure giggle-maker.” ―Booklist
