Kate is upset when grandma (Bubbie) gets a motorized scooter. Will Bubbie still be Bubbie in that scooter? Kate slowly warms to the scooter after she sees what a good friend it is to Bubbie. And shopping at Granville Island turns out to be so much fun! Her little brother Nate loves the scooter’s bells and whistles, and Kate makes new friends on their joyous outing.

“Few authors of juvenile books have overcome such odds as Bonnie Sherr Klein. Her own struggle is reflected in Beep Beep Bubble, where she demonstrates that a grandma on a scooter can be as much fun as one walking. Montreal artist Elisabeth Eudes-Pascal’s attractive and humorous illustrations add to the picture book’s appeal.”
