Fungus The Bogeyman (PB)
Pickup available at The Shop
Usually ready in 24 hours
Raymond Briggs built a whole underground civilisation of snot, slime, scum and gloriously unspeakable nastiness, populated it with Bogeymen who revel in every kind of revolting thing imaginable, and then, right at the heart of it, placed one Bogeyman who isn't entirely sure he belongs there. It is disgusting, it is hilarious, it is surprisingly philosophical, and it has been making children aged roughly seven to twelve absolutely delighted with themselves for decades. If your child is at the stage where they find bogies funny but are also secretly quite thoughtful about the world, Fungus is ready for them.
We love it because:
- Raymond Briggs built an entire world with its own logic, language and culture, and it is magnificent
- The cartoon-strip format makes it feel completely unlike any other picture book
- Properly, brilliantly disgusting in a way that children find deeply satisfying
- Underneath all the slime there is a genuinely moving story about not quite fitting in
- A classic that holds up completely, funny and strange and unlike anything else
What's in the box:
- One paperback cartoon-strip picture book, 48 pages, full colour throughout
Great for:
- Ages 7 and up
- Children who think they don't like reading but absolutely like things that are disgusting and funny
- A gift for a child who has outgrown picture books but isn't quite ready for chapter books
- Anyone who loved it as a child and wants to share it with the next generation
Important to know:
- Paperback, 48 pages
- Dimensions: 29.3 x 22.4 cm
- Published by PRH Children's Books
- Suitable from age 7+
