Dale Baker's new junior novel

July 17, 2020

Congrats to Dale Baker on her fab text and illustrations for

The World’s #1 Talking Bum

Published by Clever Kids Books, in paperback, on June 3rd

For ages 7 - 11.

Big Things happened in 1984. The first Apple personal computer was released, Los Angeles held the Olympics, and my bum started talking. The news didn’t report on it as I didn’t let anyone know … Until NOW.

The perfect graphic novel/chapter book for reluctant young readers. Funny and clever. It’s a cracker! Take a look at this short preview animation.

Sounds and looks like a winner - congrats again Dale!
