READ FOR A CHALLENGE? ... No.
MY THOUGHTS ... What is it about the world toilet that has children (and especially little boys) country wide (possibly even world wide) laughing?
I don't know BUT mention the word to any small child and hear them laugh. Now mention a flying toilet and well ....
What I strongly suspect will be another winner from the author of The Fed-Up Cow, Timmy On The Toilet is a fun read written in verse that, beautifully illustrated by the talented Maria Dasic Todoric, will make a perfect addition to both the home and school library; lending itself perfectly not just to individual reading but, if published in a giant size, being shared by the whole class during story circle.

I know that toilet humor is very popular here in the United States. Could be worldwide. :)
This sounds like a book that kids will love. Lots of fun! Thanks for sharing.

Ha! Well it's certainly a unique tale. Looks like the illustrations are pretty clever, too.
It sounds as though Peta and Maria make a winning team!
The idea of writing cildren's books in verse, seems to be catching on. I guess that is not only because of the rhyming, which adds to the fun of reading; but because the sentences are that much shorter, to suit short attention spans!
I know one little boy, who is certainly cheeky enough already to suit books like this in the not too distant future.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend :)

Tracy,
Toilet humour is also very
popular in The Netherlands.
But this sounds definitely
like a delightful book.
