You Live Where?! - Author John Hay

A Hilarious Journey Through the World’s Funniest Place Names

Welcome to the poolside, where birds from all over the world gather — and things get silly fast!

In You Live Where?!, written by John Hay and published by Pan Macmillan, readers are treated to a laugh-out-loud tale filled with real-life ridiculous place names. As the birds introduce themselves on the first day of their holiday, they begin to realise that their hometowns are just… too funny to believe. From Chicken to Scratchy Bottom, and Nowhere to Monster, this playful picture book brings geography, humor, and bird facts together in one delightfully illustrated package.

With vibrant artwork by the illustrator behind The Dinosaur That Pooped series, this 32-page paperback is perfect for classroom laughs, family read-alouds, and curious kids who love quirky facts.
