Critic Reviews

"Irreverent and great fun, Wemyss' light hearted re-telling, complete with silly sound effects, is verbal slapstick at its best." (Magpies Magazine)

"Tim Winton may be one of Australia's most famous authors of serious adult fiction, but one hearing of The Bugalugs Bum Thief will make you wish he'd write more often for children. This is a ridiculously sublime story about what happens when everyone in town wakes up to find their—ahem—bums missing." (AudioFile)
