Item Description
Artie Bennett, author of the best-selling children's book The Butt Book, will donate personally inscribed copies of both The Butt Book and its spanking-new companion book, Poopendous!, to one lucky winner. It's quite a set!
The Butt Book, which came out in 2010, illustrated by the superb scratchboard artist Mike Lester, was a runaway hit. It won the Reuben Award for Book Illustration. The initial print run sold out in its first two months, and it was showered with praise (“Uproariously funny” –The Children’s and Teens’ Book Connection; “Its clever rhymes and Mike Lester’s bold and beautiful images make it an instant hit!” –Teach with Picture Books; The Butt Book is one of those books that is a delight for both the child and the parent” –BSC Kids; “A hilarious rhyming tribute to our bottom end” –A Cozy Reader’s Corner). It became a must-read for countless parents and children, as it gently and comically imparted an anatomy lesson. Teachers and librarians found it hysterically funny—and educational to boot. It was described as a "gateway book," one that shows youngsters how much fun a book can be.
Educators proclaimed that a book like The Butt Book can spur a lifelong love of reading.
Poopendous! relates the many, often remarkable uses of poop throughout the world while paying homage to its prolific producers, from cats to bats to wombats! What more fertile topic could there be for Artie's follow-up. Superb illustrator Mike Moran gives us a virtual Noah's Ark of animals doing their less-than-solemn doody. So pick up your pooper-scooper and come along for a riotously rib-tickling ride. You just may agree that poop is truly quite . . . poopendous!
