There are sure to be giggles and guffaws when you read Poo and Other Words that Make me Laugh. 

This cheeky book begs to be read aloud as weird and wonderful words playfully weave their way around brightly coloured pages reminding us how fun and fascinating words can be.

Unleash your funny voices (and faces) and try not to tangle your tongue on words like FLIBBERTIGIBBET, PERSNICKETY,  HUBBUB and SUCCOTASH.
How many interesting ways can you say that little word POO?
Check out the the glossary to see if you have COLLYWOBBLES or whether you should use a BUMBERSHOOT or a SNICKERSNEE next time it rains!

Do you have a favourite word? One of mine is SERENDIPITY.

Try brainstorming words with your friends or class and create your own book of Poo (or ???) and Other Words That Make Us Laugh. 

 Felice Arena and Tom Jellett are a dynamic duo who love to make reading fun. Have a look for Sporty Kids and The Besties at your library or bookshop.

Happy reading! 

Published on Leave a comment on Thanks, Mum! by Matt Cosgrove

Have you ever stopped to think how often you call, shout, ask, wail, beg or occasionally whisper..."MUM!"?

When the pedals are turning
But your stomach is churning
‘Cause you’re still only learning
Just wail…Mum!’

Thanks, Mum! is a riot of rhyme and colourful illustrations as Matt Cosgrove reminds us of the many ways our mums are there for us each day. Who do you call when something goes missing, your stomach is churning, your knee is stinging, you've run out of loo paper or it's time for a bedtime story...

How many reasons can you think of to say "Thanks, Mum!" to your mum?

Click HERE for a Thanks, Mum! card and coupons designed by Matt for you to make for Mother's Day.

This is a fun book to share with your mum...look out for the 'noisy' double endpapers when you open the book!
