The Loo Queue

A hilarious book of counting, colours, animals... and queuing for the loo!

In this riotous rhyme from Nicholas Allan, the queue for the loo gets very long indeed, as a series of multi-coloured animals impatiently join!

Count, spot colours, spot animals, and all join in to find out who's in the loo.

A great book to teach children colours and counting in a fun and humorous way.

I really enjoyed how this book unfolds. We have a bit of a mystery around who's in the bathroom, which leads to a very funny ending. This book is great for young children who are starting to learn to count and recognize colours.

I thought it would be explaining that sometimes you have to wait to use the toilet but it didn’t really. Started well but Weird ending, a tad scary for Mr Almost-three. Didn’t read it to him again as don’t want him scared to use the toilet.
