This hilarious addition to the new lift-the-flap series features a host of hidden surprises. The poop-filled adventure is written by bestselling author duo Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, and brought to life by the preposterously talented Gary Parsons.

My daughter and husband bond over toilet humour and since the latter is in charge of library trips these days, you will be noticing a lot of such books in my reading pile. These books are nonsensical, filled with poo and tears of laughter. Five stars from daughter, four stars from me.
Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter’s Easter-themed picture book (gamely illustrated by Garry Parsons and part of a series) certainly delivers on the poo and it’s always fun to read a book with hidden panels and bits to lift but the rhymes are lacking and the story is quite lacking. Younger readers will probably love it on the basis that anything poo-related is hilarious but while I do love good poo and fart jokes, this just didn’t work for me.
