Part of the My First Picture Book series: perfect for every toddler to help build language, understanding and enjoyment. These books are a bridge between board books and picture books; printed on sturdy card with rounded corners.
Follow four loveable friends through their day, and explore the emotions that naturally occur in every young child's life. A brilliant way to soothe a bad mood and to explain that everyone feels strong emotions sometimes.
This cheery story explores the gamut of emotions of four young friends. A lovely way to celebrate happy times, as well as acknowledging the times when we feel "scratchy, grumpy, and yucky", too.
—— Catherine O'Dolan , JuniorAn introduction for the youngest readers to the different feelings they experience, from sad to funny, angry to sunny, and even lost and small.
—— BooktrustThis is not a tale for the faint-hearted, but children who enjoyed the bottom humour of Giles Andreae's Pants will doubtless love it
—— JuniorMust be the most revolting picture book of the year! . . . This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it
—— The BooksellerAdults will be revolted and struggle to read to the end; children, I'm afraid, will just love it
—— Nursery WorldThere is something about snot which intrigues at this age and Morris the Mankiest Monster provides plenty of toenails, pustules and other delights from a disgusting but friendly monster
—— Alison Walsh , Irish Independent on SundayChildren will absolutely love it - I will leave adults to make up their own minds . . . The illustrations are wonderful - full of grisly details that children will adore, and they will delight in reading the story to you. Great fun!
—— Parents In TouchAny book that has an embossed green bogey on the cover has already got my vote. This frankly vile book is a complete and utter joy from beginning to end . . . A revoltingly good treat for young children
—— Stacia Briggs , Norwich TelegraphSarah McIntyre certainly does not hold back with her illustrations of Giles Andreae's hilarious rhyming words . . . Sarah's illustrations are all beautifully drawn, with an incredible attention to detail that will have children poring lovingly over the pages
—— Book Zone For BoysComes across as an infant Fungus the Bogeyman in the sort of humourous rhymes of text Giles Andreae does so well
—— The School Librarian
