Narrative Toward Books The Giggler Treatment (Rover Adventures Trilogy)
The Giggler Treatment is all about poo.So if you too are a fan of the poo,
Like I too am a fan of the poo,
Then Rover's pile is the poo for you.
If you're a bad Mom or a crabby Dad,
An adult who likes to make kids sad,
A nasty old vampire named Bloody Vlad
Or a President who won by a hanging chad.
If you're a grumpy Gus who yells and yells
A cook who always leaves in oyster shells,
Or a big old tattletale who always tells
You best be prepared for stinky smells.
Cause the Gigglers, they will not let you
Leave this place without a dose of dog poo
On the bottom side of your size ten shoe.
There, I've given you your only clue.
You must do what Mister Mack dids,
And always be nice to your little kids,
Otherwise you'll have a pair of Blids,
That smell of gooey, pooey skids.

I have never seen children's comedy written this way before. It was a shock to the system and a guilty pleasure at the same time. If I could ever write a book one tenth as funny as this I would happily retire from writing tomorrow. If you don't wet your pants laughing at this tale then quickly go and see a doctor. Something could be wrong with your bladder.First published on my blog, Nine Pages .I was introduced to this story and to Roddy Doyle by A. LaFaye in a History and Criticism of Childrens Literature class at Hollins University. I fell in love with it perhaps almost instantaneously, opening its package at the dinner table and promptly passing it around or reading the back covers blurb aloud (I forget which). I read it before class, then for class, and several times since term ended (two years ago, but it never feels that long ago).The

My lad and I loved his story - what could be more fun than getting revenge on mean grownups by making them step in ginormous piles of poo. And Rover is awesome - one of the best dog characters in kids' books that I've encountered. Highly recommended for young readers and their parents alike.
One of my very favourite readalouds for my elementary students - to shock them with a silly story that despite having a narrative throughline, also jumps all over the place...wonderful. Also, So. Many. Poop references. A winner in my library for sure!
Original execution, short but very funny.Taking place over just a few minutes, the course of events is stretched out while a man slowly puts one foot down... over dog poo...Yes, that's the plot. Will he or won't he tread in it? Best plot ever? Could be. The Gigglers have overheard what they think is Mr Mack being mean to his children. Their job is to punish cruel adults like this by making them tread in dog mess. So now they are watching and waiting to see their punishment doled out...But all is
Roddy Doyle, a fantastic adult humour writer takes a brave turn and delves into the world of childrens books.The Giggler Treatment tells the story of the gigglers who are creatures who put 'poo' under the shoes of naughty adults.
