Meet Wild Boars
(Penguin Books Ltd)
32pp, 978-0141381770, RRP £10.99, Hardcover
5-8 Infant/Junior
A ribald introduction to Boris, Morris, Horace and Doris, whose foul and pungent habits we are introduced to at length and in detail. The book is full of word play and picture play, and leans heavily on the anarchic approach to picturebooks pioneered by Lane Smith and John Scieszka (right down to the sleeve note style). Children's unlimited capacity to enjoy poo jokes will ensure success.
