A joyful and cheeky rhyming book that mixes toilet humour with colour theory, from award-winning creator Briony Stewart.
Art smock, paper, paint brush - Go!
I'm a colour-mixer pro.
Today I'll make a brand-new colour,
Something brilliant - like no other.
A squirt of yellow, a dash of blue ...
Oh. That's green. That's nothing new.
Red and blue makes ... purple. Drat!
It's nice, but everyone's seen that ...
Hervé Tullet meets Poo Poo Bum Bum Wee Wee in this irreverent early childhood book that mixes toilet humour with colour theory. Fun read-aloud rhyme and joyous illustrations will delight readers young and old.
