Potty Poems to Get Your Teeth Into

Make sure you leave the seat down! Check your bottom for teeth-marks! From the people who brought you Bitey the Veggie Vampire, Wang Foo the Kung Fu Shrew, and The Armadillo Under My Pillow comes this latest "fin-tastic" collection from Chris White, author and illustrator extraordinaire.

In four short years since his first book appeared Chris has found himself headlining at festivals, appearing in schools and libraries throughout the UK and even performing his wacky brand of poetry in a prison! Fortunately for us, he managed to talk his way out again to begin writing his latest Potty Poets collection, Shark in the Toilet!

For Chris, writing also includes drawing. As a dedicated wielder of the drawing pen and paintbrush, Chris has doodled his way to fame both as an artist and cartoon illustrator, complementing his writing skills, and has won over an army of fans with his spectacular interactive poetry showcase. Many of Chris's poems feature animals, and the ones in this latest collection are no exception. Amongst others there are the antics of show squirrel Zola, a fashion-conscious rabbit with pierced ears and make-up, and the vanity of Elephant John who uses anti-wrinkle cream. On the darker side, you can also find out about Rigor Mortis in my Tortoise, and the creation of the sinister Frankenhamster. Non-animal subjects veer wildly from the wacky to the bizarre, including the sprouty smell of The Boy Who Loved Brussels and the yearning of caveboy Ug for Y-fronts to warm his chilly bits.

Those who have read and loved Chris's previous three titles in the Potty Poets series will soon be queueing up in the bookshops of Britain to buy this one to add to their collection. For those who haven't been exposed to Chris's strangely warped view of the world, what better place to start than this rib-rattling book from the man whose many welcome appearances at schools and festivals alike made him widely tipped as the rising star of the Potty Poets series.
