"Did you poo on my head?" asks Little Mole.

Little Mole has so many questions yet nobody seems to have the answers. But with some clever detective work, Little Mole finds out exactly who has pooed on his head. This is a hilarious book for children. And adults. It's a little surreal. But it's very, very funny.

Q) What's it about?

A) Basically a mole wakes up one morning to discover that somebody has pooed on his head. The story follows his adventures to find out just who had the sheer audacity to relieve themselves on our intrepid hero...

Q) And did he find the culprit?

A) Indeed he did.. but only after thorough examination of a great number of his fellow animal's droppings.


Q) Well at least it doesn't describe the poo, does it?

A) It does - in glorious detail. Little mole spends literally hours comparing the pile of poo on his head with those that he comes across on his journey. And very thorough he is too - checking the size, shape and consistancy as well as keeping an ear out for the sounds that could indicate poo in the neighbourhood.

Q) Is there anything in the book that would be of interest to people who do not have a natural fascination with poo?

A) The illustrations are truly charming. Even the ones that aren't depicting droppings.

Q) Thanks all the same but don't you think this all sounds a bit childish?

A) That's almost the point. It's a crazy little book, but one that the kids will absolutely adore. I've bought this book for so many children that I know and they have all fallen in love with it. It's impossible to read without a giggle, and however 'poor taste' it may sound, it delights little kids so much that it could inspire them to read more..

Q) Poppycock. Why would it inspire them to read?

A) Here's a tip - buy it for a three year old girl and then give your six year old boy the job of reading it for their little sister at bedtime. Education and fun for the six year old, quality storytime for the three year old. It may even give you five free minutes to pour yourself a G&T/write a dooyoo review. Everyone's happy.

Q) Everyone?

A) Well, everyone apart from Little Mole. He still has poo on his head...
