Do Not Say These Words by Frances Tosdevin and Rhian Wright is an absolute giggle-fest. This book delivers belly laughs with a brilliantly bonkers premise that each time we chuckle at cheeky words, we unleash a dangerous Giggle-Gas. If we don’t stop, the whole world might zoom off into space like a rogue balloon with a puncture.
Enter the ever-serious Professor has devised a ridiculous but totally hilarious solution to ban all the funny words. To enforce this, she has invented a machine that changes them into something completely different. Fancy saying Floppy Peach-Cheeks instead of Bottom? Well, you’d better get used to it.
This book is a riot of imagination, encouraging kids to dream up their own side-splitting word swaps. Every page bursts with colour and chaos with Rhian Wright’s bold and bright, edge-to-edge illustrations.
Do Not Say These Words will have children (and grown-ups) laughing out loud, making up their own silly alternatives, and coming back for more. Even the most reluctant reader won’t be able to resist this books charm.

Looking forward to reading it, what age group is it suitable for?

I would say that children aged three upwards would love to hear this read to them and find it very funny. It would be suitable for a child to read alone from ages five and upwards, although saying this emergent readers who are not quite reading independently would get a lot from reading the pictures and sounding out the imaginative words.

Clearly I have been warned. 😬
