Bookseller Giles Andreae and Sarah McIntyre would like you to meet Morris, the world's stinkiest picture book hero...

More marvellous muckiness -- Helen Brown * Daily Telegraph * Treading the tightrope between revolting and sweet is hard but Morris does it. What a gem! * Books for Keeps * This is not a tale for the faint-hearted, but children who enjoyed the bottom humour of Giles Andreae's Pants will doubtless love it * Junior * Must be the most revolting picture book of the year! . . . This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it * The Bookseller * Adults will be revolted and struggle to read to the end; children, I'm afraid, will just love it * Nursery World *
