Jumblebum: The Monster who loves mess!

by Chae Strathie

Johnny thinks that his room has its own special style. But Mum thinks his room is a horrendous MESS! Johnny doesn’t care… until the chaos attracts the terrible Jumblebum Beast. Is Johnny about to end up in the Jumblebum’s TUM? A hilarious rhyming story about the importance of tidying up, brought to life by sweetly wacky pictures from Ben Cort, the bestselling illustrator of Aliens Love Underpants.

About the author

Chae Strathie is an award-winning children’s author and journalist who grew up in a tiny village surrounded by a forest in Scotland, which probably explains a lot. His first attempt at professional writing was creating a Star Wars comic at the age of seven. He sold two copies and made a total of four pence. A regular at major book festivals, Chae has toured the length and breadth of the UK and visited schools as far afield as Romania, reading his stories, acting the goat and singing silly songs about worm ice cream and beard-growing. He lives in Dundee with three annoying cats and a very old goldfish called Lazarus.

Be careful - if your room gets too messy the Jumblebum monster will come!

Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
