About The Book

The explosively-funny new picture book from the creators of the award-winning Sh*gged. Married. Annoyed podcast!

The door burst open with an almighty crash!
Poo ran up the walls with a big smelly splash!

Mam and Dad gasped, the boys gave a yell
They didn’t know what was happening . . . u
ntil . . . the SMELL!

Meet the Randal Family: Mam, Dad, Robert and Ralph. One night, Robert’s friend comes to stay, and Ralph decides he wants to stay up with the big boys. What better way to derail bedtime than with a giant poo?

But the rumbling in Ralph’s nappy doesn’t stop there. It’s a POONAMI, and it’s taken over the house. HELP!

Bedtime family fun, brought to life in POOTASTIC colour from illustrator Paula Bowles
