In the Fall 2025 edition of Canadian Children’s booknews, reviewer Jennifer D. Foster says Burst Your Bubble! is a “fascinating, accessible, clever and timely adventure through the world of information bubbles, social media and internet algorithms.”

“Award-winning author Joyce Grant has a knack for taking complex topics and distilling them into digestible bites of information that resonate with young readers and make learning fun. Burst Your Bubble! is no exception.”

Foster also notes that “internationally published artist Jan Dolby has excelled in creating original, playful and colourful worlds on each page, deftly enhancing the text and enticing further reading and learning. Dolby’s visuals are relatable, energetic and age-appropriate, and expertly complement the information laid out on the captivating double-page spreads.

“This original must-read guide is an indispensable addition to any home, school or public library and will undoubtedly spark meaningful conversation after very read.

“Prepare to emerge from your narrow comfort zone, burst your own personal bubble of information and, in turn, be enlightened, inspired, rewarded and delighted!”
