Description



Book Synopsis



There's nothing funny about bums. Nothing funny at all!
They come in all shapes and sizes, the big, the wobbly the small...

... insists a teacher, reading from a book called The Book of Things That Are Definitely Not Funny. In this hilarious picture book, join a class of children as they attempt to keep a straight face while learning about bottoms. But after the teacher has described ants in pants, ninja farts, and torpedoes in the bath everyone is rolling around laughing. What will the headteacher say?!

A fabulously silly story with hilarious illustrations--children and their grown-ups will love reading and giggling along.



About the Author



Gareth P. Jones is an award winning children's author based in South East London. His first book, The Dragon Detective Agency: The Case of the Missing Cats was published January 2007 and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. He then wrote three more books in the series. As well as writing a story for Barrington Stoke called Perry's 5, Gareth has an ongoing series of books for Stokes called Ninja Meerkats. Gareth juggles being an author with regular school visits, occasional bouts of TV producing, playing at being father and husband and strumming a whole host of stringed instruments. He does not, however, juggle.

Matt Robertson graduated with a Masters in Children's Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art in 2014 and in 2016 he was shortlisted for the Waterstones Book Prize (illustrated category). He lives and works in Norwich, UK.
