I had not heard of this series before seeing this book on Netgalley and I am glad that I found it. The Hubble Bubble series follows a grandmother and her granddaughter on typical outings made not-so-typical by Granny's magic. Granny liked to spell things whenever she can making things more fun for kids but sometimes the spells aren't quite right.

The synopsis above is a bit off. In The Wacky Winter Wonderland installment, you get three stories. One about the wonderland, another about a pet competition, and a third about a trip to the museum. All the stories were adorable and fun. They were easy to read and I was surprised that there were multiple stories (sometimes a good cover just calls to me). I loved Granny using her magic to make everything more fun for her granddaughter even if it might get her into trouble.

I think this series would be a lot of fun for younger readers. The stories are simple and shorter with illustrations to show all the fun. I thought that the Winter Wonderland story was the most fun out of them all, which is perfect this time of year.

While this was a cute story, the formatting itself was thrown off to the point where I couldn't truly enjoy it, or read it to the youngest spawn. I'm more than sure the print will look one hundred times better than the digital copy itself. And it that IS the case I would recommend this book as a nice read to share a bit of holiday magic with the kids.

Grade school kids will enjoy this read! Starts out with title event, and goes on to other events. If the kids are into witches and magic and good things happening, they will enjoy this little lark!

Pandora is a young girl with a Granny who just happens to be a witch. This book contains three different stories involving Pandora, her friends, and her Granny. The title of the book coming from the first story. It seems everyone knows that Granny is a witch and it doesn't seem to bother anyone. Things don't always turn out the way Granny hopes, but she is able to undo her mistakes with no major problems.

The first story is about Pandora and Granny visiting a farm that has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland, at least that is what everyone thinks. When they get there, they find Farmer Grumpypants has not been truthful. No fear, Granny uses a little bit of magic to create a real Winter Wonderland with a lot of fun and adventure for Pandora and her friends. In the second story Granny and Pandora have entered Cobweb, the cat, in a pet contest. When one of the pets gets caught in a cage, Granny uses magic to free him. Of course it doesn't go quite right and the pet's talents get all mixed up. Have no fear, everything gets sorted out. These pets have some very unusual talents. The final story is about a fieldtrip to the local Museum of History. Of course Granny goes along as a chaperone. She makes the term "Living History" take on a whole new meaning.

This is a good book for early readers with cute black and white illustrations. There are several in the series that are all well written with similar themes of magic gone wrong, then corrected. I would recommend this book to late primary and early junior classrooms for their libraries, as well as elementary and school libraries.
