Our three year old loves reading books that are a little bit cheeky and rude.
Undies, bums, poo, boogers, toilets.
These are always a winner.
We have some new ones from Christmas to add to our collection.
I must admit I am usually the culprit when it comes to crass books.
I leave the non PC toys up to the uncles and aunts (post to follow), but I just can't pass on a poop themed book.
Toilet humour is our shared passion.
I judge a book by it's cover too! I do I'll admit it.
Mines bigger than yours doesn't go where the mind first imagines, WHICH IS A GOOD THING!
It is actually a story about standing up to bullies and the fierceness of a mother's protection and love.
But I had to have it. For the cover.
Besides it was heavily discounted and bundled with other surprisingly poor sellers such as -
Whose in the loo?
Five books for five dollars! How could I pass up such a bargain?
Yikes Who farted?
This one came at a premium. I think it was $12 aust.
This little beauty takes you on an investigation into all aspects of each animals flatus as we go on a search for the culprit.
WITH SOUND BUTTONS ON EACH PAGE the different pitch, tone and texture is explored.
Winner!
It is first assumed that it is the larger creatures, but...
Spoiler alert

It was the little guy. š·
...and yes WHO'S BUM ON THE FARM is a lift the flap book.
Yeah, even I'm not sure about this one, sorry Gerry.
The 12 dogs of Christmas a new take on the classic 12 days, has completely wiped the words of the original song from my mind.
No longer are the 11 pipers piping (I had to look that up).
The pipers have been forevermore replaced with 11 puppies pooping.
And a fat cat in a furr tree.
Stinky cheese man and other fairly stupid tales.
This is a piece of art.
25 beautiful paintings actually and 10 stories.
It isn't a book targeted at the little ones.
I am thinking of reviewing some of my favourite books in the coming months.
This one will feature for sure. It is funny, clever and most definitely a collection of beautiful art.
It is a fabulous challenge to all happily ever after condescending children's stories.
I'm wondering if this is an Australian phenomena.
To desecrate the old stories and nursery rhymes and make them your own.
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. for instance.
I recently sent THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A MOZZIE, she's probably Ozzie...
To the little peppers.
I came across this version at Christmas time.
There was an old bloke who swallowed a present.
It ends similarly.
We also enjoy irreverent love of the British royals.
Hence the queens knickers.
There is something very levelling about underpants.
When you strip it all back, people are people.
Fungus the boogeyman has been one of our toddler favourites for a while.
It's gross and
It's pop up. plop up.
We read every night before bed.
It is part of our evening routine. It's a great way to settle down for bed and to instil a love of reading.
There are so many fun ways to enjoy reading with kids.
I will share some of our all time favourites in more detail soon.
