After a dinner of cabbage and peas, there is a rumble. There is a roar.

But this is something that’s happened before.

A family stands in shock. They can’t quite believe it.

Dad’s bum has gone nuclear and now they have to retrieve it!

Dad’s bum is off out the door with everyone off after it. Dressed in nothing but bright boxer shorts, Dad’s bum is off on an adventure through town. But no matter how fast they run, they cannot catch up. It’s even worse when they realise that the smell coming from Dad’s bum alerts everyone to it, even if they hadn’t seen it race by.

Walkers, joggers and bikers stand stunned at the sight and smell, and soon the police are involved in the chase. They are determined to catch this runaway bum as it upsets children, a choir and even the local wildlife.

But wait! It’s coming back! Watch out!

The eighth book in this silly series, My Dad’s Runaway Bum will have fans of toilet humour laughing out loud. Imagine seeing a runaway bum race by!

The rhyme and rhythm of the story is catchy, ensuring young listeners or readers will be glued to every piece of action, and the bright illustrations hold tons of laughs too.
