DAD'S EXPLODING UNDERPANTS by Andrew Collett, Illustrated by Paddy Palgrave
ISBN 978-1-872438-45-0(August 2000) A5 80pp. pbk., £4.50
In this, his third collection of potty poems and rotten rhymes for the King's England Press, Andrew comes back to some familiar subjects. Toilets, school, and underpants, cowpats, foul fridges, and old-age bogies, to name but a few. In the two years since the appearance of Always Eat Your Bogies, Andrew has become a firm fixture at the book-signing tables of the bookshops of England, often breaking into spontaneous rhyme to the delight of his many young fans. Now, following on from his best-selling Bottling Burps for Grandma, comes this new nauseous nosegay of bizarre vile verse and worse ...
It’s a book that will appeal on different levels: if you’re young enough to have seen Andrew at your school doing one of his many performances, you’ll find poems here to make you giggle, groan and guffaw. If you’re one of that strange species, an adult, or maybe even a teacher, you might catch the odd echo of Cautionary Tales in poems such as Greedy Little Nigel, or The Boiler House, as Andrew assumes the mantle of a streetwise, modern-day Hilaire Belloc.
Armpit Creatures, The Exploding Rabbit, The Turbo Tortoise, and Dustbin Lid Sid are all new characters in this book, that Andrew’s many readers will warm to and grow to love. Why not join Andrew’s band of admirers and revel in the slime of Esmond’s Bedroom, find out why Adders Can’t Add, and marvel at the antics of Today’s Hammer Head Sharks.
As Andrew says in his introduction, reading is all about having fun. So go on, treat yourself or someone you know to almost eighty fun packed pages of a good laugh. It’s only £4.50 away ...
