Bubble Trouble , by Margaret Mahy
Winner of the Boston Globe Horn Book Award.
A wonderful read aloud picture book for preschool and early elementary grades. Mabel's baby brother floats away in a bubble and friends and neighbors come to the rescue to help baby back to safety. The rhyming text begs to be read aloud--and children will enjoy the sounds of the words in the story as much as the baby enjoyed his bubble journey in the sky where "[t]he baby didn't quibble. He began to smile and dribble, for he liked the wibble-wobble of the bubble in the air." Illustrations by Polly Dunbar are done in beautiful watercolor and colorful paper cut designs.
