Newest Addition To New Bum! Series Surfs The Wave Of Latest Viral Video Sensation

An Australian posting of the famous ‘Scottish Granny’ reading of I Need a New Bum! late last year renewed the viral sensation of this New Zealand-published series — with close to 9 million views worldwide!

My Dad’s Runaway Bum extends this hit series in another crazy escapade. Our hero. red-pants boy, is off on another bum-venture, but this time it’s not him that causes the trouble! After eating too much cabbage and peas, Dad’s bum has had enough and blasts off in a cloud of smelly smoke. It takes off through the door, rolls ‘past joggers in tights, past bikers with lights’.

But our hero and his bum-less Dad are hot on its tail, following its smelly trail. And soon, the police get in on the c(h)ase …

Will Dad get his bum back or will he stay forever bum-less, with his backside locked up in jail?

The hilarious rhymes of Dawn McMillan and comical drawings of Ross Kinnaird crack up readers once more in this wild bum-chase.

This eighth in the bestselling New Bum! series will be in bookstores this month simultaneously in New Zealand, Australia, the US and Canada, and the UK and Ireland.
