Whizz! Pop! Granny, Stop!

by Tracey Corderoy

Published 6 September 2012

My granny is quite . . . different, of that there is no doubt. In a world jam-packed with grannies, you'd always pick her out!

Welcome to a hilarious series by award-winning picture book creators Tracey Corderoy (author of the hugely successful Shifty McGifty books) and Joe Berger (former World Book Day artist).

There is more trouble afoot for the little girl whose granny is a witch, whom we first met in Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble. Granny just loves to help - a little bit of magic always speeds things along - and she's happy to whizz out her "helping kit" at the drop of a pointy hat. But sometimes all her granddaughter wants is to do things under her own steam, and to spend some time with her beloved granny. But will her birthday party go with a POP without any magic?

Whizz! Pop! Granny, Stop! is a riot to share and makes the perfect Halloween treat, yet has bags of grandparent-grandchild fun to be enjoyed all year round! The charming combination of granny-witch theme, a warm message about acceptance, rhyming text and stylish illustrations make the Hubble Bubble series a bewitching brew for all little people who like a sprinkling of magic on their stories.

Every Nosy Crow paperback picture book comes with a free "Stories Aloud" audio recording. Just scan the QR code and listen along!

My granny's rather different, as you can plainly see. Her handbag pops and hisses and her pets are . . . slippery!

Welcome to a hilarious series by award-winning picture book creators Tracey Corderoy (author of the hugely successful Shifty McGifty books) and Joe Berger (former World Book Day artist).

Sometimes having a (ssh, whisper it!) witch for a granny is fun, but sometimes it's just a teensy, weensy bit embarrassing - especially when you're at the supermarket and fishfingers start flying around. But when a pair of robbers turn up in the next aisle, perhaps an extra-ordinary magical granny is exactly what's needed!

Spells-A-Popping, Granny's Shopping is a riot to share and makes the perfect Halloween treat, yet has bags of grandparent-grandchild fun to be enjoyed all year round! The charming combination of granny-witch theme, a warm message about acceptance, rhyming text and stylish illustrations make the Hubble Bubble series a bewitching brew for all little people who like a sprinkling of magic on their stories.

My granny's kind of different. She wears such funny hats. She's got a huge menagerie of cats and frogs and bats!

Welcome to a hilarious series by award-winning picture book creators Tracey Corderoy (author of the hugely successful Shifty McGifty books) and Joe Berger (former World Book Day artist).

If your granny were a little bit different from other grannies (even if she is, in fact, a WITCH!) would you want to change her . . . or would you love her just the way she is? Maybe it's fun to take the bats to the cinema or to cook up a big pot of gloopy soup with granny's witchy friends after all!

Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble is a riot to share and makes the perfect Halloween treat, yet has bags of grandparent-grandchild fun to be enjoyed all year round! The charming combination of granny-witch theme, a warm message about acceptance, rhyming text and stylish illustrations make the Hubble Bubble series a bewitching brew for all little people who like a sprinkling of magic on their stories.
