Perfectly pitched for ages 3-6 (PreK-1), each story pairs bold, funny illustrations with bouncy, rhythmic text that begs to be read aloud. From wanting a brand-new bum to chasing down a runaway one, the set is packed with giggles, silliness, and just enough gentle mischief to keep little ones hooked from cover to cover. A brilliant introduction to independent reading, wrapped in five wonderfully silly stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis five-book paperback collection gathers the complete run of Dawn McMillan's much-loved New Bum Series, a comedy phenomenon that began with the internationally popular \u003cem\u003eI Need a New Bum!\u003c\/em\u003e and grew into a full family of giggle-inducing adventures. Each title follows the same irrepressible young hero as his bottom gets him into one ridiculous predicament after another, whether he's shopping for a shinier replacement, gluing something to his backside by accident, making far too much noise, dashing off without him, or simply refusing to behave. McMillan's rhyming, sing-song text is built for repeat read-alouds, with rhythm and repetition that help emerging readers predict what comes next and join in with the fun. The bold, expressive illustrations that accompany every page do a huge amount of storytelling work on their own, letting even pre-readers follow the joke and laugh along. Nothing in the series is mean-spirited; the humor stays firmly on the silly, body-positive side, turning an ordinary part of growing up into something to laugh about rather than worry over. Because each book stands alone, families can dip into the set in any order, making it a flexible bundle for bedtime, car trips, or classroom read-aloud time. Together the five stories offer a consistent character children quickly come to recognize and root for, building a reading habit through pure entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 5-book paperback set of the original New Bum Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhyming text builds early reading skills through rhythm and repetition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold, funny illustrations keep young readers engaged page to page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighthearted, body-positive humor that's silly, never mean-spirited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for bedtime, read-aloud time, or classroom libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fun gift idea for birthdays or any early-reader milestone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nI Need a New Bum! — A boy decides his bum has a crack in it and hunts for a shiny new replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\nI've Broken My Bum! — The same hero lands in another sticky situation when disaster strikes his backside.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is SO NOISY! — His bottom won't stop making noise, sparking a funny lesson in owning your quirks.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is on the Run! — This time his bum takes off on its own, leading to a silly chase.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is SO CHEEKY! — A mischievous bum refuses to sit still, wriggling its way into more trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDawn McMillan is a New Zealand children's author best known for creating the New Bum Series, which began with the internationally popular \u003cem\u003eI Need a New Bum!\u003c\/em\u003e, illustrated by Ross Kinnaird.

Its runaway popularity, fueled by videos of grandparents reading it aloud, led to a string of equally cheeky sequels that keep the same rhyming, read-aloud energy while sending the boy's bum on ever-sillier adventures. In I've Broken My Bum!, a mishap with glue turns his bottom into an accidental gadget. My Bum is SO NOISY! embraces the comedy of parps and toots, while My Bum is on the Run! sends his backside racing off on its own. My Bum is SO CHEEKY! leans into playground humor, and the holiday-themed My Bum is SO SPOOKY! and My Bum is SO CHRISTMASSY! bring the same silly formula to Halloween and Christmas. Illustrated with bright, bold, comic-style artwork, every book uses rhythmic, rhyming text ideal for reading aloud at bedtime or in the classroom. Together, the seven stories build a world where embarrassment becomes something to laugh about, gently reinforcing confidence and a sense of humor. Parents and teachers repeatedly praise the series for turning reluctant readers into eager ones, thanks to its silliness, rhyme, and relatable childhood mishaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 7-book paperback collection of the viral, best-loved New Bum series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhyming, read-aloud text perfect for bedtime, classroom, or car ride giggles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, bold illustrations that bring every silly scenario to life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurns everyday childhood embarrassments into confidence-building comedy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for ages 3-7 (Preschool-Grade 2), including reluctant or early readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a fantastic birthday gift, stocking stuffer, or classroom library addition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nI Need a New Bum! — A boy discovers a crack in his bottom and imagines armor-plated, rocket, and robot replacements before accepting his own.\u003cbr\u003e\nI've Broken My Bum! — A glue mishap turns his bottom into an accidental sliding, surfing gadget that has his friends asking for a turn.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is SO NOISY! — His bottom develops a mind of its own, letting out parps and toots at the most inconvenient moments.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is on the Run! — His runaway bottom takes off on a wild chase, dragging him along for the ride.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is SO CHEEKY! — Playground antics escalate as his bottom gets him into one silly scrape after another.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is SO SPOOKY! — A Halloween-themed romp finds his bottom stirring up spooky, giggle-inducing trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Bum is SO CHRISTMASSY! — A festive tale brings the same silly bottom humor to the holiday season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDawn McMillan is a New Zealand children's author best known for creating the runaway hit I Need a New Bum!, illustrated by Ross Kinnaird, which became an internet sensation after videos of the story being read aloud went viral around the world.
