Poopendous!

Poopendous by Artie Bennett

About The Book:
“Everyone poops - yes, it’s true - from aardvarks to the humped zebu.” Artie Bennett, author of the award-winning and much-acclaimed The Butt Book, delivers the inside scoop on every type and use of poop in his “number two,” spanking-new picture book. In hilarious verses, with eye-popping illustrations, 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! Virtuoso illustrator Mike Moran gives us a 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!

My Thoughts:
I loved Artie's first book The Butt Book. And Poopendous is just as great, if not greater! Callan and I laughed and laughed! It was great. The illustration is perfect. I love the rhyme and flow of the author's writing. It is fun to read aloud, and easy for Callan to remember the words time after time when we read it.  The quality of the book's construction is great as well. Thick pages in full color to last a very long time! Not only is this book funny and silly, it is actually very educational as well. A great read for kiddos of all ages! 

About The Author:
Artie Bennett is the executive copy editor for a children’s book publisher and he writes a little on the side (but not the backside!). His itch to write gave us The Dinosaur Joke Book: A Compendium of Pre-Hysteric Puns (currently extinct) when he was a much younger man. The Butt Book, however, was his first “mature” work. The Butt Book was showered with praise and won the prestigious Reuben Award for Book Illustration. His “number two” picture book, fittingly, is entitled Poopendous! What more fertile topic could there be but poop! Artie was the youngest (at about age thirteen) person to originate and sell a crossword puzzle to the New York Times. He went on to sell several dailies and two large Sunday puzzles to the Times before he began college. It’s been downhill ever since. He and his wife, Leah, live deep in the bowels of Brooklyn, New York, where he spends his spare time moving his car to satisfy the rigorous demands of alternate-side-of-the-street parking. He is pleased to share the visionary promise of Poopendous! with a wider audience. Visit ArtieBennett.com before someone else does!
