Father’s Day fun adds to the incredible run of the New Bum! series




Dawn McMillan 
Illustrated by Ross Kinnaird

The spectacular success that started from the global bestseller I need a NEW BUM! rolls on, with number 13 in the New Bum! series hitting stores in time for Father’s Day 2026.




Someone is making disgusting smells and all the signs point to Dad:
There must be something wrong for him to pong so often during the day.



Our hero (Red Pants Boy) sets out to prepare a Father’s Day present that will solve the smelly problem. But is it really Dad doing the farts?


Dad needs a NEW BUM! is already out in the UK with a North American edition to follow, and the New Zealand and Australian releases are sure to create a stink!
