Uncle John's Iflush: Hurtling Thru History Bathroom Reader for Kids Only!

Fresh (or not so fresh) from swimming through the sewers of science, our charming host--Dwayne, the rat--hurtles into history for more Interpipe Adventures. Whats the Interpipe? Were glad you asked! Copying how computers have been connected to form the Internet, four mad-scientist-plumbers (Plumb Bob, Phyllis Tanks, P. Liddy, and Portia Potty) linked the worlds sewer lines together to create the Interpipe. Next, the Four Ps created a waterproof device called the iSwirl that can be used to travel back in time with a mere flush of the toilet! Finally, Uncle John found a world-famous puzzle maker to chronicle every Interpipe adventure, and the rest is iFlush history!

Heres how it works:

- Every page is packed with the kind of amazing true stories and fantastic factoids readers expect from Uncle Johns Bathroom Readers FOR KIDS ONLY.

- Readers use clues in the history-filled stories and factoids to solve puzzles.

- Once a puzzle is solved, Dwayne, our ratty host, flushes himself through the Interpipe to take readers to their next historical destination.

- The ingenious iSwirl adds a twist by giving readers a choice: solve the puzzle and turn the page, or jump through time to the next historical adventure.
