A page toward the end is my favorite. The rhyme is a perfect, rhythmic dance, and the community comes together with the same perfect choreography.

I love the aerial view, so you can see the quilt and everyone’s face as they look up at the baby falling from the sky.

A villain, Abel, emerges toward the end, and that’s good because otherwise it seems we’ll never get baby down.

I love the silly tossed off line about Abel being a rascal and a rebel, *despite* being a treble in the chapel choir. With nefarious intentions!

The inventive and lively rhyme scheme keeps me entertained every time we read ‘Bubble Trouble’, and the rhythm even feels like a bubble bobbling along.

The illustrations keep pace, each drawn with a gentle friendliness suitable for a baby in a bubble.

The best children’s books get right to business, and ‘Bubble Trouble’ takes off at a gallop with the fanciful and imaginative inciting incident on page 1.

Mabel blows a bubble, and it envelops her baby brother and wafts him away.

The first page illustration leans to the right, so you can feel the bubble pulling baby up.

I have a thing for #childrensbooks and every so often I share one I especially enjoy.

Tonight’s book is ‘Bubble Trouble’ by Margaret Mahy with illustrations by Polly Dunbar.
