A funny children’s book with charming illustrations.

We very much enjoyed this in my household. The rhyming makes it easy to follow and the large, bold illustrations are excellent to study for younger eyes. We particularly liked the twist at the end and the windy humour had us chuckling!

The sequel to The Dragon With The Blazing Bottom is out! A 'fiery fairy tale' told in hilarious rhyme, this is a story that is as roarsome, bold and explosive as the main characters...

Dragon is down! His fire is still coming out the wrong end and he doesn't know what to do about it. But Sir. Wayne does. If they start doing everything in reverse, Dragon's fire is sure to change direction. But when Dragon and Sir. Wayne start swapping everything around, they get a rather unexpected results.

This is toilet humour at its funniest - a quest to get Dragon's fire to come out of his mouth rather than his bottom. In the same ilk as The Dinosaur That Pooped series, it perhaps won't be for everyone - my mum refuses to read toilet humour books to my children - but have no doubt, the kids will LOVE it! Dragon and Sir. Wayne are a great double act and I can see this series becoming crazier and more madcap as it continues, which hopefully it will.

What I particularly liked about this story was the plot. "How is doing everything in reverse going to have any effect on solving Dragon's problem?" I thought as I read it. But, of course, this picture book hasn't been written for me or any other adult - it's been written for children and this is an example of awesome child logic that delivers an hysterical punch line at the end.

Reading the text out loud is a delight and far funnier than reading it in your head. The rhyme is as riotous as the story is ridiculous and you can't help but snort with laughter at the characters' escapades. So why not give in to five minutes of silliness, gather together as a family, forget about your day and just 'laugh your socks off'...just make sure your laughter comes out the right end!

The Knight With The Blazing Bottom is out now. A big thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for allowing me a review copy.

Not the first kids' book I've ever read featuring the fiery farts of a dragon, but this certainly is in the higher echelons of such stuff. The rhyme is wonderfully sustained, the art is easily past the 'fine' mark, and the plot, which features advice to do everything topsy-turvy, so the dragon can launch flames from his mush not his tush, is really clever. The only thing is, the whole surprise – the entire joyful twist to the whole book – is IN THE BLOODY TITLE. Once again, having featured a dragon that farts fire – but only at the end of the book named for a dragon that farts fire, this series has got it completely arse over tit. Face, meet palm, and in a big way. Seriously, guys – take the interns off this franchise and let it soar, not just blunder your way to any sales made thus far.
