From Garry Parsons, illustrator of the Dinosaur that Pooped series, and debut author John Hay, this quirky picture book will delight toddlers with a penchant for off-the-wall humour. It’s a blast of ingenious absurdity, with lots of reasons to laugh-out-loud on each of its energetically illustrated pages.
It’s the first day of the holidays and birds from all corners of the globe are chilling-out poolside, and getting to know each other. First there’s the roadrunner who tells a kookaburra he’s from a place called Nowhere. When the kookaburra dismisses this name as nonsense, a penguin jumps in to say he’s from a place called Nowhere Else, which leads the kookaburra to reply “that’s just silly”. To which a jackdaw responds that he’s actually from… Silly!
With clever connecting lines between each place name revelation (others include Little Snoring, Scratchy Bottom, Pee Pee Town and Humpty Doo), the book ends with a spread detailing where each of these implausibly named places really are. Spoiler: they’re all real!
Little Snoring. Scratchy Bottom. Nowhere. Nowhere Else. You Live Where?!
