Product Description

Review

A joy to read aloud and gorgeously illustrated by Dunbar - especially the oblivious baby.

(Bookseller )

This fabulous and ridiculous bouncing story told in a rollicking rhyme charts the adventures of a baby who gets wafted away in a bubble. Over the heads of all bibble - bobbles the baby in the bubble while everyone wonders, how will we ever get him down? A huge adventure which will engage all through its witty, laugh-out-loud text and gorgeous illustrations.

(Julia Eccleshare Lovereading )

I can't remember the last time I so enjoyed reading anything out loud. Just try this sample: "But she bellowed, 'Gracious Greville!' and she grovelled on the gravel as the baby in the bubble bibble-bobbled overhead." Now imagine this deliciously ridiculous tongue workout going on for 32 thoroughly entertaining pages. Add in an ever-expanding and eccentric cast of characters given cosy, comfy and colourful shape by the tremendously talented Polly Dunbar. Then wrap it all round a beautifully silly chase story in which Mabel's baby brother is acciedently careted aloft by the errant bubble, with a resolution featuring a villanous chorister with a catapult and some nifty 'catchwork' with a patchwork quilt, and you'll have some idea why I found it so much fun.

(Armadillo Magazine )

5 star ' frolicking, rollicking rhyming story ... Polly Dunbar captures the mood brilliantly.'

(Books for Keeps )

A grand rhyming romp.

(School Librarian )

The book shows the fun that can be had with language, and will be enjoyed by children over a wide age range. Polly Dunbar's illustrations support the text well, with clear characterisation and a wonderful array of facial expressions. Altogether this is a delight.

(English 4-11 )

Product Description

Little Mabel blew a bubble and it caused a lot of trouble…

Such a lot of bubble trouble in a bibble-bobble way.

For it broke away from Mabel as it bobbed across the table,

Where it bobbled over Baby, and it wafted him away.



Follow the hilarious efforts of the townsfolk as they chase the baby far across the town in an effort to get him down from the bubble safe and sound.

This is a fantastically fun picture book! A brilliantly tongue twisting story which is great fun to read. The real joy of this book is in the illustrations though - they are energetic and effortless at the same time and complement the writing beautifully. My baby niece loved looking at the pictures and the older children loved spotting all the action on each page. A highly recommended read that you wont tire of!

Bubble Book, mummy! 16 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for my two year old a few weeks ago and already it's one of her firm favourites, even though the text is a bit too much for me to read through as she paces through the story, turning page after page to follow the bubble's progress.
In the book, little Mabel blows a bubble and causes her little brother all kinds of trouble as he floats over their town. We have great fun as my daughter identifies every character on each page (as someone in our family, a hobby of hers) as the illustrations are great and keep her attention throughout.
Luckily, Mabel's brother is saved as so there's always relief at the end, and usually a demand to start again! A super read.

Bubble Trouble by Margaret Mahy.
This is a charmingly illustrated book for 2 year olds. The colours are soft and gentle. The humour is great fun and the rhymes are marvellous.
