Do Not Say These Words

There is a terrible crisis! We are using too many gigglesome words and producing far too much giggle-gas, which, as we all know, is bad for the planet and the Professor now needs your help to save the world.  These words are now banned, and we must all use boring unfunny words instead and most important of all, you must not giggle.

This clever picture book is going to be every child’s dream, especially if read out loud to them by a grown-up, for, of course, the new unfunny words are even funnier than the ones they are replacing. I defy anyone reading this not to at least smirk when instructed that the replacement word for ‘Bottom’ is ‘Floppy Peach Cheeks’!

Tosdevin’s hilarious tale is accompanied by bright and quirky illustrations from new illustrator Rhian Wright, each page full of clever details which young readers will find as funny as the banned gigglesome words, and what will happen as more and more words are fed into the machine? You’ll just have to read the book to find out! A fun, laugh-out-loud tale which will be extremely popular at bedtime and in school reading lessons.
