Overview
Get ready for endless giggles with the New Bum series by Dawn McMillan, a wildly popular 7-book paperback collection that follows one boy and his hilariously unpredictable backside. Each rhyming, richly illustrated story turns an everyday childhood mishap into a laugh-out-loud adventure, from a cracked bum in need of replacing to a bum that won't stop parping at the worst possible moments. Perfect for ages 3 to 7, these silly, read-aloud-friendly books are beloved for making reluctant readers giggle their way into loving books. A must-have for the bookshelf, classroom library, or as a laugh-out-loud gift.

About the Books
The New Bum series began with the viral sensation I Need a New Bum!, the story of a young boy who discovers a crack in his bottom and sets off on an imaginative quest to find a replacement, weighing up armor-plated, rocket-powered, and robot options along the way. 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.
