The Giant’s Loo Roll
By Nicholas Allan
Age: 3+
‘A giant’s toilet roll one day
Fell to the floor and flew away.
‘Oh Fe Fi Fo
And Fe Fi Fum!
Now what shall I do to wipe my …..’
Look out for the biggest loo roll ever in this story – and those living in the town below the Giant’s house had better watch out! That loo roll has gone bouncing down the hill and straight towards them!
Luckily, the townsfolk find lots of uses for runaway loo paper – one sheet provides a huge canvas for an artist, a tailor uses another to fill her shop with paper pants, children make plates and hats for a party from one more sheet, and a class makes a huge dart that can fly.
But what about the giant himself – doesn’t he need any loo paper? The townspeople have an answer for that, too.
Watch out for some frightened sheep, lots of excited children and a fantastic amount of toilet paper….
