The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker - now Children’s Picture Book of The Year 2024 – The Week Junior Book Awards!
The judges said: “This poo-filled picture book [...] reveals scientific facts in an engaging, silly and original way, with lots of icky illustrations to add to the fun.”
This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion. (It's fair to say that parents might learn a little bit too.)
