Fucking genius...

[Indy · Rating 3 out of 5]

An entire book of make-up organisms with bum, which share a similar evolution history as human and other life forms on earth. Would be great fun for boys.

One of my youth favorites!

It is not really a story but its funny its toilet humour.

[Carolienvanderwaarde · Rating 3 out of 5]

Werkelijk geen enkele kans heeft vertaler Edward van de Vendel laten liggen... Het aantal konten, scheten, billen, reten en drollen dat voorbij komt, is kontzaggelijk. Knap werk. En verder volgt Andy Griffiths keurig de tijdlijn en ontwikkelingen van de prehistorie. En dus is dit boek niet alleen ' de meest uitgebreide en kaktuele gids die ooit over het prehistorische reetleven' is gemaakt, maar ook een alternatieve manier om kinderen kennis te laten maken met het ontstaan van de verschillende levensvormen op aarde tijdens de prehistorie.
Na 60 bladzijden heb ik het opgegeven, maar ik weet zeker dat er hele hordes kinderen zijn die deze meligheid enorm weten te waarderen.
Voor alle Andy en Terry-fans vanaf 10 jaar. Want echt makkelijk is het niet.

Andy Griffith's enough said. The king of children's books and the molder of young, growing imaginations. This book provides fictional knowledge in a light-hearted manner accompanied by amusing illustrations sure to keep any young child buzzing with mental excitement. If you have a young nephew or niece or any child under 13 years old,i highly recommend this as an introduction to the world of books as it gently pushes them to get into reading.

Hilarity is present from the front page to the back page of this book for young readers. Even as an adult I laughed my way through this book.

For a side-splitting alternative view on prehistoric life read this book. And if you know a young reluctant reader, then get them a copy of this and watch them read until they drop.

Probably the worst kids' book I've ever read. And I love Captain Underpants! Harmless bathroom humor, but wait until your kid is old enough to read it him/herself so you don't have to read it to them.

My son, however, loved it enough to purchase a copy with his own money.

It mostly included dinosaurs with bums and the biggest dinosaur was eating a tree and when he sat down he could kill several other dinosaurs and there are fish ones and there are toilet paper ones too. The tree's coconuts look like bum,s too.

AMAZING!

[Lisa · Rating 1 out of 5]

What bumosaur is that was terrible because all of the words within it contained the word "bum". I did however like the illustrations.

:0 LOL

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is one of those books where I feel a bit unfair for only giving it three stars as I know the intended audience will think it is fantastic. I would say it is the pinnacle of toilet humour.

[Mehsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Een erg vies, maar ook wel leuk boek. Ook al moet ik zeggen dat de woordgrapjes een beetje vervelend werden.

[Jack Perry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very funny it had me laughing in the end like crazy

This is good for kids it has heaps of toilet words in it but who ever did this book is very funny.
