Find monster bums, ghost bums, vampire bums, witch bums, werewolf bums, skeleton bums and much, MUCH more in this fun-filled celebration of Halloween - with a spooktacular party finale! Hachette asked me to design a few sample characters to pitch for a rhyming picture book, originally titled Jiggly Bums. We caught up with Chris to find out about his artist journey and the brilliance behind his hilarious new book 101 Bums (written by Sam Harper, published by Hodder Children’s Books). Follow the bouncy read aloud rhyme, count the animals, then join in with the jiggly, wiggly dance finale!

I began by sketching the T-rex and little mouse for the text ‘big bum and little bum,’ along with the mammoth and a prickly hedgehog. We will shake our butts with the beat~ Along with all the animals + more that we encountered on the way. I am definitely not the age group for this book, but I just love a book that makes me laugh, and bums make me laugh.Chris Jevons is an award-winning children's book illustrator with a passion for character design and storytelling.
