<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Once there was a rabbit who could only answer "poo bum" whenever he was spoken to. One day the rabbit meets a hungry wolf. Will the little rabbit be his usual rude self, or will he learn his lesson once and for all?"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The international bestselling picture book about a little rabbit who could only say one thing. </strong>Now an animated series on Netflix!<br /> <br /> Simon is children's favorite cheeky rabbit! With bright and bold illustrations, the Simon picture book series is intelligent, funny and adored by toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. <br /> <br /> <em>Once there was a little rabbit who could only say one thing... <br /> In the morning his mother would say, "Time to get up, my little rabbit!" <br /> He'd reply: "Poo bum!" <br /> At lunchtime his father would say, "Eat your spinach, my little rabbit!" <br /> He'd reply: "Poo bum!" <br /> One day, he meets a hungry wolf. <br /> Will Simon learn his lesson once and for all?<br /> </em><br /> Absurdly humorous and irrepressible, Simon's antics are guaranteed entertainment and will have children back for repeat readings -- it's too much fun to say the words "Poo Bum" again and again! While the surprise ending will have the whole family in hysterics, the message is clear, Simon knows perfectly well how to behave when he wants to. But it's hard when there are so many funny words to say. <br /> <br /> Perfect to read aloud and giggle together as a family or for beginning readers who will enjoy the bold and simple text. <br /> <br /> "Likely to stop even non-bookish kids in their tracks"--<strong><em>The Guardian, 'The Best Picture books for Children' </em></strong><br /> <br /> Stephanie Blake is the author and illustrator of seven picture books in the Simon series and dozens of highly successful books in France, many of them children's favorites.<br /> <br /> Simon's adventures continue in: <br /> <em>Super Rabbit<br /> Nits<br /> I Want Spaghetti<br /> I Don't Want To Go To School<br /> I'm the Biggest<br /> Stupid Baby<br /> </em><br /> Praise for <em>Poo Bum<br /> </em><br /> "I believe that entertainment is an overrated function of art and we should be challenged by what we view and read."--<strong>Simon Pegg</strong><br /> <br /> "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?"--<em><strong>Sunday Star Times, New Zealand<br /> </strong></em><br /> "Scatological writing doesn't usually impress me - but the plot of <em>Poo Bum </em>is hilarious. Stephanie Blake is a big seller in France. Find out why."--<strong><em>The Listener, New Zealand</em></strong><br /> <br /> "This book may be a masterpiece. I've read so many children's books that, when one of them stands out, I notice. <em>Poo Bum </em>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 favorite of little kids, thanks to its hilarious absurdity."--<strong><em>The Ladybug Reads</em></strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Saturated colors, thick black outlines, and cartoonish faces bring a vibrant energy to Blake's uncouth tale. A young white rabbit with an insouciant twinkle responds to every conversation with the words 'poo bum, ' right up until the moment he gets eaten by a green wolf. The snack doesn't agree with the wolf and the doctor--little Poo Bum's father--retrieves the wee pottymouth, who responds to the ordeal by speaking with ornate eloquence, until switching to the word 'fart.' Full-bleed spreads in gloriously bright colors are paired with a large, bold font for a visual experience that lends itself to a read-aloud. As a story, the text relies on the peculiar joy of hearing gross words, which won't appeal to everyone. VERDICT <strong>A slight but lively book, which will delight readers who want to repeat 'fart' and 'poo' for the rest of the day.</strong>--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (3/13/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br>
