The Big Poop Contest

Beskrywing

BACKGROUND

King Turd got stuck in his poop-phase. Every year he calls on the Minister of Interior Poop Affairs to organise the Big Poop Contest. From his balcony he watches as the contestants march by with their delightful poop art. Whose name will be chiselled into the memorial stone for the winners of the Big Poop Contest this time?

This publication is also available in Afrikaans, Die groot poefwedstryd.
