Hubble Bubble Granny Trouble

Author: Tracey CorderoyIllustrator: Joe Berger

With pictures by one of Booktrust’s 2011 Ten Best New Illustrators, this witchy book is bound to create a magical stir!  What to do if you are small girl with a granny who is a witch, habitually stirring up trouble? Completely fed up with the problems Granny causes, the little girl decides to reform her, the make-over involving tweed suit and hairdo, with a fluffy pink rabbit to replace her usual warty pets. But, of course, conforming makes Granny miserable. So, realising she loved Granny just as she was, the girl sets about turning her back to her witchy self, cooking her some favourite ‘gloopy soup, adding extra slime and sludge and even froggy-poop!’ The well-constructed rhyming text helps this book fly along, and children will love to read it for themselves, laughing over Stewart’s zany characters and mischievous creatures. Look for the exhaust pipe and wing mirrors on Granny’s broomstick, and try counting the 30 bats, on the final page! Lots of visual fun to match the bouncing rhymes.
