Bernard the Robot loses his bottom on the park swing, and sets off to find it.
Every time he gets close, it disappears again! Bird was using it as a nest, but it was too heavy; Bear used it in his drum kit, but it was too tinny; the Squirrels built sandcastles with it…and now it looks as if they’re sailing away in it.
Will Bernard EVER get his bottom back? This fabulous book will have kids – big and small – laughing every time.
No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom, written by Sue Hendra, is a brand new release from Simon & Schuster.
Available in paperback where all good books are sold for $14.99. Also available as an ebook for $11.99.
No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom, written by Sue Hendra, is one of those books you can happily read over and over again and it will still be fun! The pictures are big, bright and colourful, while the text is simple but engaging at the same time. This is a great book that both mum and dad and child will enjoy.
I have to write another review for hubby. He read No-bot to the kids for the first time yesterday afternoon. I have to point out that hubby does not like to read at all. Books, instruction manuals, nothing. I’m thrilled to say he thoroughly enjoyed reading No-bot!! It was so good to hear him and the kids laughing together, I think it was a fantastic bonding experience for them. I would definitely recommend all the mummies out there to get their partner’s to read this to their children!
After reading all the wonderful reviews on here I had to get this book for my kids. I’m pleased to say they absolutely love it. I almost know it off by heart already, I have read it that many times! It has a fantastic story line which keeps the kids amused from start to finish, with lots of giggles along the way! The illustrations are colourful and entertaining and they can spend ages just studying the pictures. No-bot has fast become a new favourite in my house and will have a place in my bookcase for many years to come. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
I found this to be a big hit with my two boys. We borrowed a copy from a friend who found it in a bookstore and her children also enjoyed it immensely. The story uses clear, simple language and the colorful simple picture design actively engages young listeners. The boys were easily drawn into the story and their attention engaged until the end.
My 3 year old son has finally gotten into sitting down and reading a book with me and he was very happy with this particular book. He loves it. Its cute, its funny and it’s easy to get him involved in the story. It’s definitely a favourite at our house and I highly recommend it to other families who want a bit of a silly giggle!
This is a fantastic book, I have just hired it from the local library this morning and have already read it to the kids 3 times. We all had a good giggle while reading it. I will definitely be going to buy this book next time I am out at the main shops.
So it’s now funny and acceptable to talk about bottoms in our house! Lovely illustrations, rhyming and story. The girls ask for this book to be read all the time (and the adults are happy to do so). I’d definitely recommend this to others and will look for more books by the author.
My little Miss loved it. She thought it was funny that he just forgot about his bottom at the park as she has left things at the park also. I also liked the way little Miss commented about how every one who tried to use it, then helped as best they could to let No – Bot know where it may be. She has taken it to her teacher from last year to read to the new Kindy Kids.
My two granddaughters were in hysterics about the robot loosing his bottom. The story is wonderfully funny with such a little journey. The illustrations are too cute and very bright with colouring that the girls loved to point at the different things on the pages.
It’s a book that you can read over and over again and even i don’t mind it. It’s a very very good story!!!
This is my second review for the book – “No-Bot, The Robot with no bottom” by Sue Hendra.
WOW! What an amazing hit this book has been with my 3 children. Who would have thought a little red Robot that goes on a mission to find his lost bottom to be so entertaining for all (even my husband!)
My 3 year old daughter is particularly drawn to the bright colourful illustrations, my 7 year old son enjoys reading the book by himself (well apart from the Robots name of Bernard he gets a little tongue tide over that) and thoroughly enjoyed the story and my 10 year daughter old finds the need to read it to my 3 year old again and again (just an excuse I think)
Once again the text is basic the illustrations are bright and the characters are all “friendly and welcoming” the story keeps the children turning the pages without getting bored.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone with children especially for preschool aged children.
My girls (2 and 4) think this book is just awesome. The pictures are lovely and colourful. The repetition lets them be able to join in with reading the story. The morals snuck in there are nice and it’s about bottoms – what isn’t there to love. I’d recommend the book to others and will be buying it again as a gift.
Both my kids (daughter aged 4.5 and son aged 2) are loving No-Bot! The day it arrived we read it no less than half a dozen times, and have continued reading it every day since. The use of repetition, funny voices, and of course the word “bottom” makes it a sure hit. As a parent I like the hidden messages of patience and persistence, and helping friends. The illustrations are colourful, simple and easy to see with lovely large print that makes following along easy for older children. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to others.
I was looking forward to receiving this book to share with my son so it definitely lived up to my expectations. It was easy to read for the early reader but also can be enjoyed by an more confident reader as well. It is illustrated with bright colours which go perfectly with the text. This would be a great bedtime story book and boys would probably enjoy the story more than girls. I would highly recommend this book.
What a great children book!! I couldnt wait for my daughter to come home from school to start reading the book together.
As soon as she got home i told her the book arrived and we couldnt wait to get into it. The front cover is very well illustrated with bright colours especially to get kids attention wanting to read the book. Even before we started reading we both tought this is going to be a funny story and we were right, it sure was!!
No-Bot a great children story book for all ages to enjoy. A great book to have in all children library collection at home. A lovely illustrations and simple text make this a must for all pre-schoolers.
Super, bright illustrations bring the story to life and it feels to me a very well thought out gender neutral book that boys and girls alike can enjoy.
We highly recommend this book , it’s fun, colourful and enjoyable to read.
Bright Happy illustrations that any preschool child would enjoy.
We opened out mail today to find a lovely surprise – No-Bot, The Robot with no bottom by Sue Hendra. Instantly my 3 year old was encapsulated with the front cover. “A bright red robot and pretty glitter writing!” With no idea what the book was about she insisted we read it straight away. So down we sat to a book that has lovely illustrations full of bright colours. The story itself was written with very basic text, perfect for any child in the age group 3 -5 to follow along with. It wasn’t too long, so she didn’t lose interest in it (which happens often), and it had enough “mystery” about it, that she was happy to sit until the end to find out exactly what happened to Bernard’s bottom. I will read it again a few more times with her and also have my 7 year old and 9 year old read it before posting my next review. So far we have found it to be a lovely book that I believe will become a favourite.

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.
Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.
One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.
We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.
Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums
What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.
1. Nappy Free Time
“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.
We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.
2. Change Nappies Frequently
“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member
Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.
3. Use A Barrier Cream
“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes
Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.
4. Choose Gentle
“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F
Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.
Nappy Rash Myths & Facts
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies. ✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.
It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.
🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies. ✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation. ✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.
