Review

This second book in the series, Hubble Bubble, finds Pandora’s grandmother creating chaos as usual. Each book in the series contains 3 short stories. The first story follows Granny and Pandora to a museum where Granny decides to bring a few artifacts to life. In the second story, Granny and Pandora enter a baking contest on their favorite TV show. When it is clear that they are not going to win, Granny takes out her magic wand and a food fight breaks out. In the third story, Pandora is having trouble growing carrots for the school contest. When granny tries to help them grow faster, they start growing so fast they pop right out of the ground. Short stories, short chapters and numerous illustrations make this a good beginning chapter book for young readers. The illustrations are full of humor and chaos that will appeal to children.

Overall Book Score: good
