Description
Book SynopsisSimon is children's favourite cheeky rabbit! Once there was a little rabbit who could only say one thing... In the morning his mother would say, "Time to get up, my little rabbit!" He'd reply: "Poo bum!" At lunchtime his father would say, "Eat your spinach, my little rabbit!" He'd reply: "Poo bum!" One day, he meets a hungry wolf. Will the little rabbit learn his lesson once and for all?
Trade ReviewThis book may be a masterpiece.
I've read so many children's books that, when one of them stands out, I notice. Poo Bum is 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 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.

"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 couldn’t you like about a potty-mouthed rabbit?"
-- Sunday Star-Times
"Scatological writing doesn’t usually impress me – but the plot of Poo Bum is hilarious. Stephanie Blake is a big seller in France. Find out why."

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