and was the first product believed to combine the world of book publishing with the then
emerging recording industry. The first “Bubble Book,” measuring a tiny 6” x 7” and was
packaged just like a book: hard covered and title paged. Inside, spread across its 14 pages, was
printed an original, short rhyming story and the complete texts of some very well-known nursery
rhymes (“Tom the Piper’s Son,” etc.). Also enclosed were some delicate line drawings, by the
aforementioned Rhoda Chase, each with a hint of an Art Nouveau influence. Three of the book’s
pages doubled as record sleeves and each of these sleeves contained a miniaturized record
(smaller than a 45rpm; today, the “Bubble Book” records look a bit like drink coasters). These
records, when put on a player and spun at 78rpm, sang aloud the printed nursery rhymes. The
voice is believed to have been Henry Burr, a then popular and prolific singer.
The “Bubble Book” series got its name from the cartoony “bubbles” that the first book’s
unnamed lead, a little blue-clad boy, blows from a magical pipe he has been given. Books show overall signs of wear all records are there including some deplicates
