Uncle John’s Top Secret Bathroom Reader For Kids Only! Collectible Edition
Adults, stop reading now. We mean it. This book is top secret and it’s for kids only! (Are the grownups gone? Good.) Now that it’s just the kids, we’ll let the cat out of the bag: this book is full of disgusting things and nasty (but funny) pranks. It’s also packed with weird superstitions, freaky facts, unbelievable myths and legends, and did we mention gross stuff? Like boogers. And farting ghosts. And armpit sniffers. And entomophagy. (What’s that? It’s the practice of eating worms.) But there’s more than just gross stuff in this illustrated and easy-to-read book. You’ll be briefed in how to make your own secret code, where the Jolly Roger pirate flag came from, mermaid tales and other unbelievable sightings, the original alchemist and the search for the philosopher’s stone, the Captain Underpants story, a secret recipe for edible glass, sneakers of the future, and much, much more!

In the unlikely event (fingers crossed) that these great tomes fall into my possession, I will be sharing them with the library where I work. Kids (of all ages) love them!
my 3 sons love to look at books while in the bathroom
Who doesn’t like a book in the bathroom?
Thanks for the giveaway!
Perfect bathroom reading for an 11 year old who loves science. I’m sure it will be borrowed by her 60 year old grandfather.
how funny that there is a whole genre of this! Awesome 😀
Both of my kids bring stuff with them into the bathroom. Usually it is the iPad. Love to see them with these books instead.
The kids like to read and this would be good for them to keep on enjoying their like to read.
Why do my throne sitters deserve these? LOL I have a LOT of throne sitters.. a huge family and they are here a lot. And it’s fun when they take longer than you know they “have” to in the bathroom, cause they are reading!! AND you know they love the books when they bring it out of the throne room to keep reading it!
These sound right up my 9 year old nephew’s alley. can’t wait to see if I win to share them with him!
It’s a great place to read
My throne sitters of the library would love these books. I have the adult version and just get lost in them. The love of reading for kids wherever you can get it. The throne room leaves a very captive audience.
Interesting idea
My throne sitters deserve these books because they are not only fun to read, they are educational too.
so he can be more productive
It would be a step up to listening to them sing while in the bathroom.
Whatever gets them reading is great
They would literally flip their lids over these books
My son has not gotten into reading on the pot yet but I’m sure it will only be a matter of time.
I am trying to get my grandchildrens to love readung books like I do. Thank you for the giveaway and good luck everyone.
I am hoping this will help my nieces spend a little more time in the bathroom- they are at the age where they want to rush-can’t rush potty time!
Great books for my grandson! And me too! Exciting reading ahead!
We will read these books until they literally fall apart if we win.
Think my nephew would love these. Thanks for the chance.
I know some kids that will flip over these.
It will provide them with some good conversation starting material
My great-nephews are both at the age where they’ve discovered the joy of reading books while they’re sitting on the “throne.” I’d love to help them keep their love of books alive. 🙂
Special books for a special market…these books are so cute.
This is the best gift a grandfather can give to his grandson…the gift of reading enjoyment. I have all of the BRI paperbacks and hardcovers and have enjoyed them for many years. I’m sure my grandson will someday have these in his ‘reading room.’
Thanks for the chance. Both of my kiddos would LOVE these!
My throne sitter would prefer reading to just about any activity. She’d LOVE these as an addition to our bathroom, especially since every where she goes she always has a book in her hands.
My son loves to read there and everywhere so he is very deserving of these books.
family book for boys and girls that have dreams
Because they sure know how to waste time on the can. It would be nice if they had something productive to do while they were in there.
These are books they would actually read
They need to learn about optimizing their reading time!
AND THE WINNERS ARE…
