Who's in the loo?

Who's in the loo? Jeanne Willis & Adrian Reynolds. (Ages 2 - 5)

Two children outside the loo at the zoo wonder who is holding up the queue. Could it be a tiger needing a tiddle, a wandering wombat needing a widdle or a waddling penguin too frozen to piddle?

Some people might find the subject matter a bit risque but children simply love bodily functions. The book is tastefully done and lots of fun. A great hit with my daughter, Sian, aged 3. Claire Hubbard.
