The Bubble is an original tale of enchantment written and told by Jay O’Callahan.  

From Wikipedia: Most of Jay’s early stories were developed from improvised bedtime tales for his two children and are highly whimsical and showcase O’Callahan’s talent for vocal characterization (including giving personalities to inanimate objects), rhythmic verbal poetry, his gentle absurdist humor, and ability to enter into a child’s perception of the world. Notable stories of this type include The Little Dragon, Tulips, The Bubble, The Red Ball, and Orange Cheeks.”

Students may enjoy watching The Bubble, performed by American Sign Language interpreter, Ian Sanborn.  The ASL video can be found in SPI’s K-3 Learning Lab “American Sign Language Interpreted Stories.”  

We’re working on developing projects to accompany Jay’s spoken-word recording of The Bubble, found here.  Please check back.
