Reviews

Written by the ever-popular Andy Griffiths, whose wicked sense of humour continues to engage reluctant and avid readers alike, one need go no further than the first page to understand just what you are in for: the book contains ‘arsetounding creatures’ drawn by the inventive ‘illarsetrator’, the highly entertaining Terry Denton. Set out like a fair-dinkum scientific book, complete with a contents page and a ‘bumolutionary’ time-chart, each double-page spread introduces a new creature, with a short description of its environment and habits, and a box containing vital statistics, including its ‘stink rating’. The creatures range from the fairly innocuous Trilobutt and Deep-sea Bum-dangler, to the truly horrific Turdle and Diarrhoeasaurus. Luckily, the book does not come with a scratch-a-smell. The weak-stomached should stay well away, but for those who like their reading hot, steamy and just plain disgusting, this book is perfect.
The Canberra Times

Not to put too fine a point on it Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton must have a thing about, well, bums actually. The award-winning author and illustrator have just released the hilarious What Bumosaur Is That?, the definitive guide to the bumosaurs who roamed the Earth 250,000 years ago... Anything that puts bums and dinosaurs together will be loved by boys, but girls, I am not so sure. Some will consider it crude, but to me it is just harmless fun which kids will get a giggle out of. And I would rather kids read about bumosaurs than not read at all.

Extract

Bum-sponge

The Bum-sponge lived permanently attached to the sea floor, absorbing bumteria. It had two distinct cheeks, which is the identifying characteristic of all forms of bum life, both modern and prehistoric.

What it lacked, however, were arms, legs, a mouth, internal organs, a nervous system, a personality and hobbies or interests of any kind.

It is believed that the species was forced to bumvolve other features, such as the ability to create bubbles by releasing gas underwater, in an effort to entertain itself and relieve the boredom of its incredibly dull life.

Trilobutt

Appearing some 600 million years ago, the Trilobutt was a hard, triple-cheeked bottom feeder. Its flattened shape made it uniquely suited to filtering mud, invertebutt droppings and bumganic particles as it scuttled along the sea floor.

Its hard shell kept it safe from predators; thus it was one of the most successful of all early bum life forms. It swam, crawled and burrowed in the Crapozoic oceans for the next 350 million years.

There were many different species of Trilobutt, and some—such as Trilobuttus gigantis—grew to enormarse proportions.

Jelly bumfish

Despite having no bones, no heart, no blood and no brains the gas-filled, bumcheek-shaped Jelly bumfish was one of the fiercest of the later soft-bodied invertebutts.

Jelly bumfish travelled in large schools, trailing their long stenchtacles behind them. These stenchtacles each had a deadly jelly-bum on the end, which could swiftly kill captured prey by infecting them with deadly bumteria. The Jelly bumfish would then absorb the prey’s body by bumosis, a primitive form of osmosis in which food is absorbed through tiny pores in the bum cheeks.
