Editorial Reviews
Outside in World (UK), December 2013 – December 6, 2013
A very funny, irreverent story that will be enjoyed by both children and parents. The surprise ending in particular, will create a lot of giggles and even some chuckles from adults too.

Hurrah for a book that celebrates silliness and encourages children to test their boundaries and play with language… this is a book that can unite three generations of a family in silliness and pre-school anarchy… All hail Stephanie Blake for showing children as they really are.

With my toddler’s love of the word poo and the erupting belly giggles that followed who could say no to this good book… sure to become a kids fast favourite.

What is funnier to a child than good, old-fashioned toilet humour? And what better vehicle for toilet humour than a little rabbit who can say nothing but `Poo bum’?
Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
An adorable, precocious little bunny always responds with the same two words.... POO BUM! Only these two words ever come out of his mouth. How very strange!
When his mother tells him it's time to get up, he replies,"Poo Bum!" At lunchtime when his dad encourages him to eat his spinach salad, he replies, "Poo Bum!" He even answers his sister, "Poo Bum!" when she entices him to have a lovely bath.
Then one day, into the story strolls a wolf. He asks little bunny, "May I eat you, my little rabbit?" Can you guess what little rabbit replies? "Poo Bum!" The wolf then eats him up. Oh my! Can little rabbit be rescued from the wolf's tummy and if he is saved will he only be able to utter those two words forever?
This hilarious, silly book will tickle any child's funny bone. Kids love anything to do with body functions and they will giggle and laugh as the pages are turned. The author has saved a HUGE booming surprise for the very last page!
The illustrations are colourful, bold and simple. The repetitive words "Poo Bum!" will have kids engaged and participating with the text. They will want to go back again and again to enjoy this irreverent book of toilet humour. The book is so fun and I highly recommend it.
