The Spot on My Bum

Since its first publication this wacky collection has become a cult classic, being featured on innumerable local radio stations and Yorkshire Television.Joiner turned social worker Gez Walsh has collected together a ribald rollicking ragbag of verse (and worse) which has been delighting kids at his many readings in the West Riding of Yorkshire and beyond. If your children are the sort of kids who decide to wallpaper your bathroom without asking you - or even telling you, then give next door's dog a bath in polycell just to see what happens, you will empathise with the sentiments in this worthy tome.A father himself, Gez shows a keen understanding of the humour and attitudes of children and an insight into what it is to be a child, with frequent scatological references to bodily functions. If you have ever thought about pruning Grandpa or wondered if your toe will go up the hot tap without getting stuck, this is the book for you.
