An annoyed mum has hit out at a board book she found in the children’s book section at Kmart, saying it’s not for kids.

The book, called Santa’s Stuck, by Rosie Greening, features a squishy Santa bum that sticks out on each page. Mum Klyanne shared a video on TikTok of the book, saying she found it in the children’s section, and doesn’t understand how it’s appropriate for kids.

“I stumbled upon this and I just find it really like … this is not for kids. Why is this even a book? Maybe it’s a sensory book, (but) this is not right for kids.”

@kellanne23 Dont get me wrong i love kmart but i dont think this is for kids ???? #kmart #australia #sydney #kids #parent #christmas #santa ♬ original sound – Klyanne

While the mum has now turned off comments on her post, it was originally met with a mix of comments. Some saying the book was part of an ongoing trend of toys featuring butts, poo and bodily fluids, which is ‘gross’.

Others said the book was just harmless fun, but those comments were met by parents concerned at the book’s message.

“Okay let’s say it’s for fun, but would it be so fun if it was kids touching other people’s butts?”

The book was published in 2021, and was even read by Sarah, Duchess of York – which you can watch below.

  • It’s a sad world we live in where if you don’t agree with something, you have to whip out your phone and record yourself and how disgusted you are in a product instead of just walking by. So it’s not a book you would buy for your child… so dont! Let others who see the funny side in it buy it instead

  • I don’t find it a big deal myself but I can see how it might upset some.

  • I can’t see the harm in this book. Kids will just focus on Santa and how to get him safely out and back to delivering the presents. It’s just another funny book for kids to enjoy

  • It is up to the parent to decide whether or not to buy the book. Most children laugh at these sorts of jokes, and I’m sure it will soon wear off as far as enjoyment for the children is concerned. If you as the parent don’t like it, then just don’t buy it.

  • Kids find those books funny what’s the big deal !? Actually picked this up last year on special for my son’s first of December box this year. He loved it

  • If it’s not for you don’t buy it – simple. But everyone has a butt including kids and Santa’s butt is red indicating he is wearing pants so I don’t see an issue.

  • I’m not fussed by it either way.

  • I think there’s too many whingers out there spoiling peoples fun. I’m sure it’s a funny, enjoyable kids book. As if your kids are gonna run around touching other people’s buttons after reading this book. Don’t like it, just don’t buy it

  • Obviously the author of the book was fresh out of inspiration or creative ideas..

  • I know my kids are obsessed with butts and poo and farts. I think its funny but everyone has a right to their opinions

  • Kids think butts are funny farts are funny etc etc. I think the book is funny. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it.

  • Seriously, people getting offended so easily these days! Move on, don’t buy it if you don’t like it. Kids find this stuff funny, as most of us did as kids.

  • I think people really need to lighten up. The book is not meant to be serious. It’s about having a laugh. Grow a sense of humour!

  • I don’t think it’s a particularly good story, but I think that some kids would find this hilarious. It’s not really anything to get upset about.

  • i didnt see it as a big deal honestly! i think people can just make anything bad and lose the fun out of things

    Reply

  • So funny if you don’t like it walk away! My kids thought it was hilarious as I bought my kids up with a sense of humour! I find the ones with fart more annoying

  • Probably not the best choice of books, though there are definitely a lot worse.
