Ten Green Bottoms

I adore this book. Its fun, catchy and will stick in the mind for a long time while making any child chuckle. A take on '10 green bottles' but with a more modern and fun difference.
What I particularly like about this is the added adding pages at the back, it's not all fun but also educational.
I will certainly he buying this for the little people in my life!

This twist on the classic children’s rhyme had us laughing out loud. Instead of singing about Ten Green Bottles, we find ourselves following ten green aliens and the power of their internal wind turbines as they trouser toot their way through town wreaking havoc in shops, parks, trains and museums.

As they slip into poo and trump to their bottoms content, these cheeky, mischief making bottoms count down from 10 in this hilarious exercise in preschool number work!

We read this with children age 2-5 and they loved it.

Thank you to Net Galley and Macmillan Publishing for sending this eBook for review consideration, all opinions are our own.

This book is a child’s dream! Move over 10 green bottles!!! It’s easy to read and remember, the rhyme is stuck in your head FAST!!!!

The pages are bright and colourful, the pictures are delightful…

Who doesn’t love a children’s book that mentions poo! This will be a favourite :)

Absolutely and throughly enjoyed reading this to my little one!

I enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations are fun and brightly coloured for little children to explore. There is much to see on each page to keep you engaged.
This is a different take on the original nursery rhyme - Ten Green Bottles.
I like that this can be read or sung. It's a great and entertaining way to get children to join in with you or to read alone.

I recommend this book for 2 - 5 year olds. It's a great way to get children learning number sequences, counting, and simple math, too.

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan children's books.

I will leave review on publishing date to Amazon and Waterstones.

Don't worry, this is nowhere near as scatological as you might think. It does still count as a fine way to rear a child. Getting to the bottom of it, it's a variant on the "Ten Green Bottles" rhyme, featuring aliens that are practically nothing but cheeky, well, butt cheeks. We see one fewer each spread, due to some mishap or another, and then we get the 'surprise' ending. Someone wanting copious farts and so on will perhaps be disappointed, but this generally does its job without hitting a bum note. I mean, I think it's still only four stars – I don't really know what I wanted from it but I felt it might have delivered more, somehow. But it's fine as it is.
