The puritan in me says this is not something we should encourage,
surely, toilet humour doesn't have a place in children's
literature, does it? Then I remember my children's favourite TV
show from the 1980s, the wolves, who farted and belched and made
everyone, including me and Wendy, have hysterics. Toilet humour is
harmless, and when it involved dinosaurs, there's no harm done, is
there? This will make you laugh, and the illustrations are
terrific, so what can go wrong? I'll put the puritan in me back in
the sideboard and save it for something more worthy. This is
brilliant!
*Books Monthly*
The book, which is very reminiscent of Dr Seuss . . . is a lovely
life lesson and deliciously naughty toilet-humour that will have
young readers squealing in delight
