Young readers will laugh with delight as this suspenseful tale unfolds. “Zany fun that’s perfect for young audiences.”--School Library Journal

It was an ordinary morning when the ordinary boy woke up, and it was an ordinary journey to school - but then Mr Gee bounced into the classroom and everything changed. Mr Gee plays rousing music which thunders around the classroom, and asks what it makes them think of. The dull grey world has been transformed into one of colour and excitement. 'Write a story about it!' laughs Mr Gee. And the ordinary boy began to write: the words just tumbled out of him pell-mell. And the places he went to, and the things he saw were extraordinary!

The naughty Colin McNaughton takes on the trials of potty training in this funny, familiar tale to which toddlers—and their parents—will easily relate.Littlesaurus laughed and laughed and sang very loudly,"Potty poo-poo wee-wee!"And the Daddysaurus said,"Shush. It's rude to say it so loud."Not only does Littlesaurus refuse to use the potty — well, for purposes other than building sandcastles or wearing as a hat — but he thinks it's hilarious to shout out "Potty poo-poo wee-wee!" and embarrass everyone within earshot, from Mommysaurus to Auntiesaurus to Teachersaurus to even his friend Whippersnappersaurus. What will help Littlesaurus change his rude ways? Could it be that a bit of reverse psychology is in order?
