To celebrate World Book Day, Chelsea stars recently read popular children’s books with the daunting task of trying not to laugh. Blues including Olivier Giroud, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and phenom Billy Gilmour all got their own personal book to read out loud on camera.
The books chosen were such classics as: “The Book with No Pictures,” "Who’s in the Loo?" and, who could forget, “I Need a New Bum!”

While Gilmour, Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi couldn’t hold back laughter from their toilet humor books (who could blame them), Pulisic and Giroud carried the straightest of faces throughout.
As cheerful as this video was, it makes us wonder where all these children's books regarding poop come from. There didn’t seem to be a surplus on books like this when we were all kids. Us older people would’ve loved children’s books about finding out who pooped on a mole’s head, who is in the loo or finding a new butt because the old one has a crack in it.
