A work of genius
—— The Bookseller of The Dinosaur That Pooped ChristmasWe love the rhyming text, colourful illustrations and (of course) the smelly, explosive eruptions!
—— The School Run blogHappily the creators of this series have maintained their high standard and brought us another hilarious story. . . Wondrously inventive and fast-paced, this is another gem.
—— Parents in Touch websiteGreat for little people
—— Burnley ExpressThey have masterminded a work of genius.
—— Philip Stone , The BooksellerA very, very silly book written by two members of pop band McFly, Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter. The story revolves around Danny – a very greedy boy who asks Father Christmas for too many presents. But Father Christmas decides enough is enough and instead gives Danny a huge Dinosaur which results in a very messy and smelly consequence. If your child liked Aliens in Underpants or The Story of the Little Mole, they will love this funny yet cautionary tale.
—— Madeformums.comOne of the funniest, and one of the most irreverant Christmas books out there. . . If you like your humour to be slightly scatological in nature, then The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas will have children in fits of laughter (and a large amount of adults too). . . Brilliant!
