남녀노소 누구나 즐겨씹는 껌은 생각보다 역사가 오래되었습니다. 고대 그리스인들은 매스틱 나무에서 추출한 껌을 씹었으며, 미국 인디언들도 가문비나무 송진을 이용해서 껌을 만들어 씹었습니다. 하지만 단순히 씹기만 하는 것이 아니라 크게 풍선같이 불 수 있는 풍선껌은 1928년에 회계사인 월터 다이머에 의해 발명되었습니다.
껌을 만드는 플리어 제과회사의 회계사였던 월터는 자기 방 옆에 연구실이 옮겨오자, 그날부터 자신도 새로운 종류의 껌을 만들기 위한 연구에 참여했습니다. 여러달 동안 다양한 첨가물을 넣어봤지만 실패만 거듭하다, 마침내 풍선같이 부풀어오르는 물질을 만드는데 성공했지만, 시간이 지나면서 돌같이 딱딱해졌습니다.
하지만 여구를 포기하지 않았던 월터는 몇개월 후 드디어 풍선같이 잘 부풀어 오르면서도 딱딱해지지 않으며 맛과 향기도 좋은 완벽한 풍선껌을 만드는데 성공했습니다. 풍선껌은 출시되자마자 대성공을 거뒀으며, 전세계 어린이들에게 큰 즐거움을 안겨주는 미국의 대표적인 발명품이 되었습니다.
유머러스한 그림이 책을 읽는 재미를 더해주며, 책 말미에는 부록으로 발명가인 월터 다이머의 발명에 얽힌 뒷이야기와 껌에 관한 재미있는 Fact들이 수록되어 있습니다.
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
Gum. It’s been around for centuries--from the ancient Greeks to the American Indians, everyone’s chewed it. But the best kind of gum--bubble gum!--wasn’t invented until 1928, when an enterprising young accountant at Fleer Gum and Candy used his spare time to experiment with different recipes. Bubble-blowing kids everywhere will be delighted with Megan McCarthy’s entertaining pictures and engaging fun facts as they learn the history behind the pink perfection of Dubble Bubble.
School Library Journal *Starred Review*
This picture-book biography of the inventor of bubblegum is equal parts informative and entertaining. With appropriately simple but engaging prose, McCarthy relates how accountant Walter Diemer began "playing with different mixtures" in the late 1920s at the candy factory where he worked and eventually discovered a gum that bubbled. Judicious use of the inventor's own words helps to convey his enthusiastic personality. Along with Diemer's story, the author also covers a bit of gum history, the trial-and-error of invention, and the excitement that comes with a successful final product, all with just the right level of detail. Appealing acrylic cartoon illustrations fill this snippet of history with a sense of fun. The prominent curves of smiling faces and circular eyes and heads stand out against heavy lines and angles to fill each scene with playfulness that matches the subject. Rich colors capture the lighthearted joy of bubble blowers, both old and young, while contrasting darker tones reflect the drama of the inventor's lab work. A closing spread offers further information about Diemer's life, more fun facts about gum, and a full list of sources. Although the man will be unfamiliar to young readers, they know his invention well, and will appreciate his unexpected but well-earned success. McCarthy's on-target presentation makes this a strong choice for elementary biography assignments, booktalking, or just plain nonfiction fun.
Booklist
What a good idea for a book! Kids who enjoy blowing gum bubbles may never have considered how the treat came to be, but here, in easy language and with amusing illustrations, McCarthy changes that. Starting at the Fleer Factory in 1927, the book introduces a young accountant, Walter Diemer, who knew more about numbers than gum. But when a lab is moved next door to his office, Diemer takes an interest in the invention of a new kind of gum. Eventually he develops bubble gum, tries it out at a mom-and-pop store to great success, and launches an enduring American icon. The acrylic paintings portray humor throughout, in part by peopling the book with googly-eyed characters who are often chewing a wad of gum. The story also touches briefly on the origin of gum, and the back matter - a short biography of Diemer, a fact list about gum, and a bibliography, including the sources from which McCarthy got her quotes - adds more info to the attractive package.
