Description
A hilariously pongy book of pooey rhymes from the author of the bestselling and award-winning Oi Frog!
Everyone has to go to the loo. POOEMS are rhymes that go there too!
When gorillas are full of bananas
They don't just go to the loo.
They swing from their nest,
They beat on their chest,
And they go for a POO-OOO-OOOOOO!!!
But what colour are mermaid poos? How many bottoms do aliens have? Do poos float in space? And what does a ghost say when it's sitting on your toilet?
Find out in this rollicking rhyming show-plopper of a picture book, packed full of potty-humour and revoltingly funny pictures from award-winning creators Kes Gray (Oi Frog!) and David Tazzyman (You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus). Perfect for reading aloud and guaranteed to get children and adults giggling!
