"Poo Bum is an international bestseller because it’s intelligent, funny and loved by children." Julia Marshall, Publisher
Stephanie Blake’s passion for writing and illustrating began in childhood when she created books for her brothers and sisters as birthday presents. As a child, she also fell in love with the books of Dr. Seuss, Ludwig Bemelmans, and William Steig. After moving to France, she discovered other writers and artists whose work continued to inspire her stories and drawings. She is the author and illustrator of dozens of highly successful books in France, many of them children’s favorites.
This book may be a masterpiece.
I've read so many children's books that, when one of them stands
out, I notice. Poo Bum is simplistic, with no lessons
learned. The illustrations are garish and silly. The story consists
of a rabbit repeating a scatological phrase. But, you know what? It
made me laugh. I can totally see this being a favourite of little
kids, thanks to its hilarious absurdity.
*The Ladybug Reads*
The illustrations are colourful, bold and simple.
The repetitive words "Poo Bum!" will have
kids engaged and participating with the text.
They will want to go back again and again to enjoy this
irreverent book of toilet humour. The book is so fun and
I highly recommend it.

"Likely to stop even non-bookish kids in their tracks.’ ‘The Best
Picture Books for Children"
*The Guardian (UK)*
"I found it funny. Ten year-old found it funny. Seven-year-old
considered it hilarious and 2-year-old laughed because everyone
else did. What couldn’t you like about a potty-mouthed rabbit?"
*Sunday Star-Times*
"Scatological writing doesn’t usually impress me – but the plot of
Poo Bum is hilarious. Stephanie Blake is a big seller in France.
Find out why."
*The Listener (NZ)*
I believe that entertainment is an overrated function of art and we
should be challenged by what we view and read.
