I've Broken My Bum! sees our hero back in action, this time after accidentally gluing a serving tray to his behind - which turns out to be brilliant for sliding down hills and surfing giant waves, much to his friends' envy. My Bum is SO NOISY! takes the fun even further, following the same lovable character as he wrestles with an extremely vocal bottom and decides whether to hide the noise or be proud of every parp. Each story is written in Dawn McMillan's signature bouncy rhyme, paired with Ross Kinnaird's bright, expressive artwork that brings every cheeky moment to life. Together, these picture books are adored by children, parents and teachers alike for turning toilet humour into confidence-building, joyful reading, and make brilliant read-aloud choices for home, classroom or library shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 complete, full-length paperback picture books in one great-value set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by bestselling New Zealand author Dawn McMillan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayful rhyme and hilarious illustrations by Ross Kinnaird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for encouraging reluctant readers aged 3-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for birthdays, Christmas or \"just because\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new condition, ready to enjoy straight away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDawn McMillan is an award-winning New Zealand children's author with more than three decades of writing experience and dozens of picture books to her name.
