Childhood book about a science fair bubble gum machine.

August 28, 2017 9:55 PM

Looking for a book I'm pretty sure I either read , saw or fever-dreamed as a child. It was an illustrated story book about a science fair? And one of the projects being some big weird machine that produced bubble gum, and everything gets covered in bubble gum.

The color scheme of the book was like like green line drawings? And lots of pink.

It would have at least been in existence by 1988 or at any time before that.

I'm sure all these details were in there; if there is no such book it must have been a weird dream.

Sounds kinda like something from the Homer Price universe.

Could it be The Biggest Bubble in the World??

This sounds familiar to me too. On this page, someone asks:

I am searching for a book that I think was called Harvey and the Amazing bubble gum machine. It was quite old. On the other side of the book was another book about monsters I think. So it was two books in one. Please help!

I tried searching that title but had no luck.
