'Have you ever wondered, as I tend to do, of things you can do with blue whale poo? Never?

'Like it or not, or whatever you think,
regardless of size or how much it may stink,
blue whale poop creates life in the sea 
Which makes it important to you and to me.

And after this book I am sure you'll agree
We should thank these great beasts of gargantuan girth.
The biggest beast ever to grace the earth!
May they always keep pooping for dear mother earth!'

The boys are having the best day ever!

There are new toys to be played with,

Yummy birthday food to eat,

Birthday games to be played,

A hideous monster to be discovered under the bed...

Did someone say monster?!

'Their discovery of something under the bed, causes instant panic among the two boys and when Mum and sister Daisy get in on the act, pandemonium erupts! Chris Collin and Megan Kitchin (author and illustrator of the wild and whacky Funky Chicken - A Bushy Tale of Crocs and Chooks) have teamed up again to bring you this delightfully Australian romp of a story that may teach us all a gentle lesson about preconceived ideas.'
