About this book

Are you ready to meet the Mubbles? Then sail away to the magical Isle of Smile, step carefully around the hungry Drib Drabs, journey through the Forest of Fun, and prepare yourself for a sensationally colourful and fabulously silly adventure!  

The charming Mubbles live a blissful life of songs, laughter, flowers and fruit. But when a mysterious machine with a button appears from behind the Uncertain Curtain, their normal routines are disrupted. Can they resist the urge to press it? What will happen if they do? Will they and the Wibbles ever finish their chores!? 

Liz Pichon, the brain behind Tom Gates, delivers lots of LOLs and wacky characters in this first instalment of her new graphic novel series for younger readers. The Mubbles, the Wibbles and the Drib Drabs are great fun as they charge around their colourful island, causing plenty of chaos along the way! 

With its short text, this book is accessible for newly independent readers. Similarly, the illustrations are wonderfully bright, bold and engaging from the outset.

The series also boasts an impressive mixed media world which children can enjoy alongside the books. There are singalongs, games, a YouTube channel and much more besides – all accessed via a QR code on the cover.

    Graphic novels, told in comic-strip style, are a brilliant way to introduce children to the fun of reading stories. The visual narrative is just as important to follow as the words. This selection is aimed at beginner readers, with minimal text and speech bubbles, but lots of funny action.
