"Unmentionable" is a collection of eight imaginative short stories by Australian author Paul Jennings, known for his quirky humor and unexpected plot twists. Aimed at children aged 4-11, each story presents a different protagonist facing a unique, often embarrassing or fantastical, challenge. Themes range from sibling rivalry and schoolyard antics to more profound topics like grief and divorce, all handled with a light, whimsical touch. Parents will appreciate the engaging narratives that encourage independent reading and spark conversations about feelings and problem-solving, while children will be captivated by the absurd situations and magical elements. Several stories were adapted for the popular TV series "Round The Twist."
Unmentionable? Sure. But I'll try to tell you anyway...The mouth organ is inside my mouth. It is stuck in sideways. The pain is terrible. My eyes water. Some things you just can't talk about. Locked in the loo. Kissing a cold, cold kid. Being a little squirt. Burning your behind. Unmentionable short stories from the brilliant Paul Jennings.
