When little Mabel blows a bubble, and her baby brother floats away in it, the whole town chases after him attempting to save him. Told delightfully in bouncy rhyme and very fun to read aloud, this tale not only rhymes, but carries the reader through a text that plays with rhythm and sound. This is a great title for supporting early literacy skills, since the fun supports print motivation, the play with sounds in words supports phonological awareness, and the text exposes the reader to a wide range of vocabulary. Older elementary children may also enjoy this title for the challenge of reading it aloud.
