Michael Rosen's hilarious viral video poem is brought to life in picture book form by award-winning illustrator Neal Layton.
Michael Rosen's poem about his dad and the too-hot potato is one of the best-known and best-loved of all his poems. Michael's own performance of the poem has even become a meme - "Nice!" This is the first time the poem has been illustrated in full colour, in a hilarious picture book.
Young Michael thinks his dad knows everything. But then one day, one terrible day, he found that his dad does NOT know everything: this is how it goes. They sit down to eat, and the potato's a bit hot. Michael knows to blow on it to cool it down before eating it. His brother knows it, and his mum knows it. So why does his dad pop it straight into this mouth? And what happens next?
A funny slice of family life, told in irresistible repetitive text, that will delight young and old alike.
