Description
NO. 1 CHILDREN’S CHOICE IN CROATIA
Misbehaving little bacteria Bugsy and Gooey have one big dream – to travel to the Slimy Universe. This universe is completely different from the one we live in. In its galaxies, stars are made of dried-up boogers, and instead of a sun, a giant bubble of mucus gleams in the sky. A boy named George loves picking his nose. He does it all the time, everywhere – whether he’s alone or with others. His nose fascinates him more than any toy, and instead of using tissues, George digs everything out with his finger – and sometimes even puts things into his nose. For Bugsy and Gooey, his finger was the perfect opportunity. They clung tightly to his finger-rocket and launched themselves into the Slimy Universe. They even brought along their bacterial and viral friends, creating a gooey chaos inside George’s nose.
This story is part of a series of children’s books about hygiene. It’s perfect for curious little ones who want to learn what can happen when we stick our fingers into our noses and pick them. Hygiene series about the adventures of bacteria Bugsy and Gooey are the most popular children’s books in Croatia, sold in tens of thousands of copies and are a true literary brand. They have helped thousands of children adopt hygienic habits – wash their teeth, hands, body, hair, feet, clean their rooms and get rid of the habit of picking their nose. Due to their mischievousness and yucky language, they are extremely fun and humorous to children, they laugh and have fun while learning about healthy habits at the same time. Bugsy and Gooey have become synonymous with cleanliness. Parents love them too.
