Mr Super Poopy Pants ISBN: 9780745964652
Elliott, Rebecca
Published by Lion Books, 2015
What a magnificent idea for helping older siblings love the new baby in the family! Toby's new brother Benjamin is really boring. He can't say anything, even though Toby tries to teach him words; he can't run around, and he can't play Batman either. What he can do, in spades, is poop! He does it in the bath, he smells awful and clears the park when he doesn't actually poop, and he produces loads of poop that escape 'even the strongest and biggest nappy', thereby giving an escape route from posh parties. This makes him a 'Pooperhero' in Toby's eyes, and so he calls him Mr Super Poopy Pants. Rebecca Elliott has written two other books about her own children, and Toby features heavily in all. As the middle child, he learns to love his disabled older sister Clemmie, who uses a wheelchair, and now he learns that baby Benjamin isn't boring at all. Elliott's illustrations are a joyful mix of colour, shape and round-headed children with stick-like arms and legs, and her sense of fun will be enjoyed by parents as well as children.
