In the grand tradition of The Book with No Pictures and This Is a Ball, comes a brand-new read-aloud to get everyone laughing

If symptoms persist, read it again to appreciate our weird and wonderful language.
And whatever you do, don't say POO!
PRAISE
'A riot of colour, a list of words. This book celebrates verbal sounds and demands to be read aloud. From endpaper to endpaper the dynamic, playful graphics and carefully chosen descriptive text create a sense of energy and fun that dramatically builds to joyous crescendo.' - Liz Anelli, Reading Time
'This is an immensely silly book designed to be shared aloud that will probably result in raucous laughter and incredulous guffaws from both adults and children.' - ReadPlus
