Customer Reviews

if you want a bit of piece of quiet and if your sons don't like "books"!!!
Well my non-reading computer mad two boys all love this book and regularly enjoy swapping titbits they've picked up from it. Have given copies to a couple of their similarly computer-obsessed friends and I gather they have been equally well-received! Am now hoping for further titles in this series as they really seem to get my boys enthusing... Not sure about the title though! I'm old fashioned enough to think that eating bogeys is rather unpleasant. I'm sure girls will find the books juts as interesting - I juts don't happen to have any...

Great!
Saw this for sale the other day and noticed it was by the same author who did 'How To Avoid A Wombats Bum' which my 13 year old step-son really enjoyed reading.
He loves this one too as it's great reading for kids/teens etc, full of interesting and weird facts. Great stocking filler which the adults will also enjoy if it's left lying about on the coffee table!
