Being fans of the Hubble Bubble picture books we were really pleased to get the chance to review these new longer stories in Hubble Bubble, The Glorious Granny Bake Off. This book has 3 stories involving Pandora and her Granny all filled with mishap, mayhem & magic.

Its bright sunny cover was a great indication of the fun stories to come.

They are good stories to read aloud with stage whispers about Granny being a “witch” & scope for plenty of sound effects. I was really pleased that Bryn could read me one of the stories himself & it was great to see him focus on the pictures to help understand the story. I was worried that the language would be difficult but it proved to have just enough tricky words to make it a fun challenge.

For me the camaraderie of Pandora & her granny is what makes these stories charming. Bryn liked them because they made him laugh, his favourite was the last story involving a gardening competition, pink potion, hint of a dragon and a giant rabbit.

It was a 4 star hit
