Bubble Gum Bison avoids bubble baths…until that becomes impossible.Bubble Gum Bison is having a great day, playing with her brother (whom readers may recall from 2022's Blue Bison Needs a Haircut), conducting science experiments at school, and chewing bubble gum and blowing bright-pink bubbles with her friends on the playground. Even slipping in a big mud puddle is fun until her mother insists that Bubble Gum Bison take a bath. No way! A muddy Bubble Gum Bison escapes out the bathroom window and heads to the playground, but all her friends have gone home. She accidentally falls into a giant pile of chewed-up bubble gum and then lands in a heap of feathers. Now she desperately wants a bath, but for some reason, the whole town is out of water. In anger, Bubble Gum Bison nearly rams her head into a rock, but she hears her brother Blue Bison ramming his head into a nearby metal pipe surrounded by a puddle of water. Could that pipe have something to do with the town's dwindling water supply? Working together, the siblings find a way to put things right. Digitally created illustrations dominated by bubble gum pink depict an adorably anthropomorphic animal cast with big eyes and rounded features; Bubble Gum Bison's mood shifts-from unfettered exuberance while rolling in the mud to pure irritation when she learns the water's all gone-are a delight.Readers will wish all bad days were as fun as the one depicted here. (Picture book. 4-7)

Bubble Gum Bison will do just about anything to avoid taking a bath in this humorous picture book from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald.

Bubble Gum Bison, Blue Bison’s little sister, is having too much fun with her playground associates to take time out for a bath. In fact, she escapes through the bathroom window to avoid the inevitable.  But when Bubble Gum Bison slips in the mud, gets covered with bubble gum, and has bird feathers stuck all-over her, she finally decides its time for a bath. But, what’s this? There’s no water! Could Blue Bison’s ramming habit have anything to do with the hole in the water tank?

A wildly hilarious story with a subtle message that an unconventional solution can solve an unconventional problem. Bubble Gum Bison Needs a Bath is the perfect companion to Scott Rothman and Pete Oswald’s  previous collaboration Blue Bison Needs a Haircut, praised by Kirkus Reviews as "This one puts the ha in 'haircut'—be prepared to snuggle up and laugh often."
