What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur That Pooped a Football!?
What's not to like about this lively blend of football, space adventure and laugh-out-loud toilet humour? Bouncy rhyme, comic illustrations and lift-the-flap surprises make it especially fun to share aloud, while Danny and Dino’s quick-thinking teamwork keeps the action moving. It is best suited to children who enjoy silly, high-energy stories; adults may wish to note that the humour is deliberately rude... and poop-focused.
