Everyone has to go to the loo. POOEMS are poems that go there too!

A hilariously pongy illustrated poetry collection from the author of the bestselling and award-winning Oi Frog!

When gorillas are full of bananas

They don't just go to the loo.

They swing from their nest,

They beat on their chest,

And they go for a POO-OOO-OOOOOO!!!

But what colour are mermaid poos? How many bottoms do aliens have? Do poos float in space? And what does a ghost say when it's sitting on your toilet?

Find out in this rollicking rhyming show-plopper of a picture book, packed full of potty-humour poems and revoltingly funny pictures from award-winning creators Kes Gray (Oi Frog!) and David Tazzyman (You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus). Perfect for reading aloud and guaranteed to get children giggling!
