Description

There’s trouble at home — Dad is stinking up the house!

Red Pants Boy jumps into action and enlists the whole family to help with a Father’s Day gift for Dad. They combat the smell with roses, perfume and even a cleverly constructed contraption:

Hey presto! Hurray! We’ve made an exhaust pipe to take Dad’s farts away.

Now the air should be fresh … clean, crisp and clear.

But … it’s NOT!

They’ve tried everything — but is it really Dad who’s to blame?

Dawn McMillan’s playful rhymes and Ross Kinnaird’s vibrant drawings bring another fun adventure to New Bum! fans around the world, continuing the success of this globally bestselling series.
