There is a monster under my bed who farts. You don't want to use the bathroom after him... The funniest picture book since The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of his Business. Everyone says, 'It wasn't me!' But what if it REALLY wasn't you? What if it was the monste...r who lives under your bed? How much trouble can one little monster cause... From two amazing talents comes a hilarious picture book that's guaranteed to be a runaway hit with both young and old. PRAISE 'With There is a Monster Under My Bed Who Farts, the two men have come up with an instant classic. It's funny, it's beautifully illustrated and it's ever so naughty. I loved it. Now it's time to share it with my daughter!' - Rob Minshull, ABC Radio Brisbane 'If the word fart offends you, don't buy this book by these Aussie blokes because you'll be encouraging your preschooler to embrace their gastric shortcomings. The super-cute illustrations will even make puritans smile' - Herald Sun 'Tickle your toddler's funny bone with this irreverent story' - Mother and Baby 'Tim Miller's text comprises simple statements about where and how the farting takes place, leaving plenty of narrative room for Matt Stanton's cartoon-style illustrations. Using simple shapes, bulging-eyed characters and dynamic compositions, he engagingly captures the personalities of the little boy, the monster and the farts. This book will provoke disgust and hilarity in equal measure, but there is no doubt that it will definitely appeal to the legion of littlies who are fascinated with impolite bodily functions' - Canberra Times 'The title says it all, and this jovial book will delight the under fours' - Weekend Australian
