Bubble Book Discography
Listed below is discographic information about all of the different versions of the Bubble Books. For background and historical information about these versions, go to the History section .
The Harper-Columbia (and Hodder-Columbia) Acoustically Recorded
The records that are contained in the Bubble Books use numbers from the Little Wonder record series. The records are listed in the order in which they appear in the books.
I have the Hodder version of Bubble Books #1-10 and have included these covers below. I have never seen a Hodder version of #11 or #12 despite their being included in the listing in the earlier Hodder books. If you have seen either of these books, please contact me . The Hodder books used the American records, and so the record numbers are the same.
