What's to LOVE about this book:

• The rhyming prose makes for fluid reading and is nice and catchy for kids.

• The illustrations are marvellous - bright, bold and hilarious.

• The book appeals to a wide audience - its gender and age neutral.

• We all know that anything remotely related to toilet-humour is sure to get a laugh.

While this book has no underlying message, it still is deserving of its place on your bookshelf. If purely for the reason that the best thing we can do for our children is instill a love of books and reading in them. If that means reading the same book over and over... and over! Then so be it! That child will have fond memories of reading which will continue long into adulthood. Similarly, some days call for easy reading... with no agenda, with no moral of the story... just plain laugh-out-loud easy reading!
