In the morning his mother would say, Time to get up, my little rabbit!

Hed reply: Poo bum!

At lunchtime his father would say, Eat your spinach, my little rabbit!

Hed reply: Poo bum!

One day, he meets a hungry wolf.

Will Simon learn his lesson once and for all

Absurdly humorous and irrepressible, Simons antics are guaranteed entertainment and will have children back for repeat readings -- its too much fun to say the words Poo Bum again and again!

Reviews

This book may be a masterpiece.

I've read so many children's books that, when one of them stands out, I notice.Poo Bumis simplistic, with no lessons learned. The illustrations are garish and silly. The story consists of a rabbit repeating a scatological phrase. But, you know what It made me laugh. I can totally see this being a favourite of little kids, thanks to its hilarious absurdity.

-- The Ladybug Reads

The illustrations are colourful, bold and simple. Therepetitive words "Poo Bum!" willhave kidsengaged andparticipating 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 Ihighly recommend it.

-- The Guardian (UK)

"I found it funny. Ten year-old found it funny. Seven-year-old considered it hilarious and 2-year-old laughed because everyone else did. What couldnt you like about a potty-mouthed rabbit"

-- Sunday Star-Times

"Scatological writing doesnt usually impress me but the plot of Poo Bum is hilarious. Stephanie Blake is a big seller in France. Find out why."

-- The Listener (NZ)

I believe that entertainment is an overrated function of art and we should be challenged by what we view and read.

-- Simon Pegg
