I Need a New Bum! (The New Bum Series)

Product Information

I will also put here that this book came to my attention when I read a review on my Goodreads feed (thanks Gregg) which stated that Toby Price, a Mississippi vice-principal had been fired because he read this book out to a bunch of elementary school kids (lower primary). It seems the school administrators are not amused by bum and fart references.

I Need A New Bum By Dawn McMillan |The Works

I Need a New Bum’ (2018) – by Dawn McMillan, with illustrations by Ross Kinnaird – is a fun and silly story aimed squarely at its target audience demographic of largely bum/pooh fixated 2-6 year olds. The art was also fun. The illustrator really can draw butts! And it made everything written become even more funny. A definate 5 stars for this one, it was so fun to watch my niece laughing and enjoying herself and watch how it got her imagination working overtime. I mean how can you not like the idea? I could hardly believe it was written by a woman, but then why the hell not? She obviously knows on which side her bread is butt-ered, and a woman can be a gluteus for punishment just like a man.... I was honestly quite impressed by her creativity, and I don't think she's bottomed-out yet, so I'd love to read something by her which is written with a more mature (but equally playful) aspect, to which she will no doubt respond tush-hey! I'm sure that Dawn McMillan isn't one to sit-upon her laurels.... How rude!” That’s the kind of response Dawn McMillan’s I New A New Butt is bound to get from some moms and dads. McMillan’s popular story was first published in New Zealand under the more polite title “I Need a New Bum.” This quirky little picture book may not be a guide to manners, but it’s a far cry from crude. Like it or not, you’ll be hard pressed to keep from smiling!

Price, who has been teaching for 20 years, said the district superintendent, Delesicia Martin, called him into her office and told him he was being placed on leave. Two days later, Price said, he was accused of breaking the Mississippi Educator Code of Ethics, and fired. Did I want to be in the New York Times one day? Yes!

The ending, I was wondering how it would go, butt I definitely hadn’t seen that one coming. It is a good ending! I'm not really a fan of the illustration style, however, particularly the way the boy was drawn. I did like the use of color, though. In I Need a New Butt!, a little boy thinks he broke his butt so he starts thinking of what kind of replacement butt he should have. I can assure you right now that your kids will love this book. Anything irreverent concerning body parts or body sounds are always a hit with kids. They will giggle, they will laugh and they will want this book to be read over and over again because it is just plain silly and funny....the perfect kid-combo.

You’ll see that I do a lot of readers for schools. I enjoy doing these. They’re like a story and a puzzle combined. The story is the most important part but there are lots of reading level challenges to get right too. The readers go all over the world, with some of them translated into other languages. What is being defined as the degree to which something is related or useful to what is happening or being talked about? I found some of the humour in this forced at times, but I can see it would appeal to young children. This is the kind of book that can engage kids into reading books. The illustrations are colourful, relevant to the text, and funny. The story itself is the right level of sillyness and playfulness that you want in a kids book. Not surprisingly it abounds in bum and fart jokes, and even has some bum puns. Admittedly, the text may not earn the author a spot in Poet's Corner, but then again, this is not supposed to be high poetry. But not all my stories come from nature. I keep a watch on what’s happening around me and I listen to what people say. Sometimes a joke can give me an idea. But most of my stories come from my own experience…the happy times, the sad times, and the special people I’ve known.

The incident has spurred criticism from free speech advocates, who claim the termination could have a chilling effect at a time of conservative-fueled pushes for book bans in schools across the US. As the author herself said last Saturday (when she came to the bookshop I work at and did a Reading), some people might find this book a bit rude.

Perfect for toilet-humour fans and guaranteed to have children in hysterics. The Wimbledon family keep getting woken up by their dog, Stanley - what could he possibly be up to in the middle of the night? Find out in this brilliantly inventive and funny picture book.I was first introduced to this book by The Scottish Granny on Youtube, who read it aloud to her very young grandson between snorts of laughter. Sounded perfect. Acclaimed author Dawn McMillan and illustrator Ross Kinnaird take you on a fun journey to find just the right bum . . . For full transparency, I didn't read this book. Instead, I watched a video where it was read aloud for a kid based target audience. To be completely honest, it made me smile and I watched the video several times. A silly story that will cause boys and girls to giggle from beginning to end!" — Norman Public Schools It's safe to say that there isn't nearly enough books about butts out there. It's clear to me now that there needs to be more.

We have a lot of reluctant readers,” Price said. “I am a firm believer that reluctant readers need the silly, funny books to hook them in.” It can be difficult getting kids interested in books and reading. Any book that can capture a kid's interest and have them wanting to read it again, and then read another book is a good book - a great book. Shopping for pressies for my nephew! (I read it. It counts. It's December and I am behind my reading goals!) Which of the following allows different operating systems to coexist on the same physical computer? This book was wonderfully hilarious and had me in absolute stitches. It's the kind of book which you just have to share with others, regardless of their age it will inevitably bring pleasure and brighten up their day. The illustrations are brilliant and greatly add to the story, bringing even more comic value to the story too! All in all, this was a lot of fun and a fantastic short enjoyable read.And then follows the quest on what new butt to choose. There are all sorts of butts, from coloured ones to flair (taking the saying to a new and literal level). I had so much fun seeing him think of all the butts he could have, and BOY there are many. I would definitely not mind having a choice of butts. Would be fun! I laughed a lot during this part. So so much.

The whole idea was as hilarious as it was preposterous, so I confess I did come into this already already biased towards the writer and artist, and they did not let me down, either one of them. Of course, I'm way to old for this kind of a book, but that didn't prevent me from maximizing my enjoyment and having some fun with it. But in positioning the act of reading a book as a violation of ethics, the district is implying that any educator could be terminated under similar circumstances, whenever an anonymous source feels a book read to students is ‘inappropriate’ for any reason.
