Mabel blows a bubble that envelops her baby brother, gently wafting him all over the village, causing shock and excitement among the population. Chrysta and Greville Gribble, Tybal and his mother Sybil, the crabby Copples, feeble Mrs. Treeble and Canon Dapple come up with an improbable plan to catch the bubbled baby. Meanwhile, mischievous rebel Abel bursts the bubble with his slingshot and the villagers gallantly come to the rescue by catching him in a quilt. The action moves with breathless frenzy. Mahy is a master at creating verse that is as light and airy as the baby's bubble. Filled with lovely Briticisms, alliterative nonsense words, double, triple and internal rhymes, it's meant to be read aloud—"Again!"—and will lead both breathless readers and listeners to delighted giggles. The text floats across the pages in waves and arcs, and Dunbar's joyous watercolor-and–cut-paper illustrations are wonderfully expressive, a visual treat moving apace with the text. A frothy, effervescent gift. (Picture book. 4-8) Est contenu dansPrix et récompensesListes notables

Weirdly, when I was reading it, I thought of that scene in Anne of Avonlea (the movie) where Anne performs Tennyson's "The Highwayman" at a fancy event. I then had a brief daydream in which I dramatically recited Bubble Trouble while wearing puffed sleeves before a crowd of children. I think it would totally work without the illustrations.
Um, I think this review is starting to say more about me than the book, so I'll wrap it up. Due to length, I'd say this is best for ages 4 and up. ( )
