The characters:

 

Meet Big Bully Burt - the new kid in school who terrorises all the children! He chases the girls and pulls their pigtails; he ties the boys shoelaces together and pushes them over in the mud; he makes his classmates hand over their dinner money and treats - and if anyone tells the teacher he flushes their heads down the loo! Who will be brave enough to  stand up to Big Bully Burt and put him in his place once and for all?

 

 

 

Oh it's Dirty Dexter - this rotten lad simply refuses to have a bath and boy does he smell! With his dirt encrusted skin, mucky fingernails, stinky feet and waxy ears - it's enough to make your lovely clean skin crawl! Who will end this bath time feud? Granny Brine? OH NO! NOT GRANNY BRINE PLEEEEEEEEASE!

 

 

 

Meet Earwax Eddie, the boy whose ears are full of dirt, grime, hairy mushrooms, scabs and wax - handy for morning snacks! But what happens when Eddie rummages a bit too far in his lug and starts tugging on something strange?

 

 

 

Behold the splendid Pizza Pete - there's not one topping he wont eat (or is there?)

 

 

Meat Eater Marvin - this boy is positively feral! He will eat ANYTHING that moves, from beef and lamb and turkey, rabbit, duck and pheasant, to offal, ribs, and rind! But will it all end badly for Meat Eater Marvin? What happens when the tables turn and he goes from 'eater' to EATEN!

 

 

Foot Cheese Fred has the stinkiest feet ever - he wears the same old stinky socks for days and days on end, covering up the gooey foot cheese between his dirty toes. Find out what happens when his family unknowingly eat Fred's FOOT CHEESE on their spaghetti and meatballs! YUK!
