This book tells the story of a little girl named Mabel who accidentally blows a bubble that picks up a baby. The bubble floats away with the baby inside, drifting over shops and past a chapel steeple. Mabel and the baby's mother chase after them, joined by other townspeople trying to reach the baby. A boy named Abel climbs the steeple and pops the bubble with a pebble, safely catching the baby in a quilt held by the crowd below. The story uses rhyming words and word play to describe the silly adventure.
