The Sprog Owner's Manual

Cole’s wonderfully off-the-wall humour is given full rein in this guide to good sprogs and bad sprogs. The author has achieved a level of popularity and status that allows her to say and draw things that would never get past an editor were they suggested by a less well-established artist. And her books are all the better for that. Here we are treated to detailed anatomical diagrams of the vile internal workings of bad sprogs, alongside their wholesome and angelic counterparts. A healthy preoccupation with matters of a scatological nature is always a sure-fire hit with small people and Cole’s is particularly unhindered by any thoughts of political correctness. Her use of media is highly appropriate, incorporating as it does collaged human or dog hair and goodness knows what other unpleasant materials. A fabulously disgusting book. I have a horrible feeling that there may be a ‘scratch and sniff’ version coming soon.
