Artie Bennett is an executive copy editor by day and a writer by night. He is the inspired creator of The True Story of Zippy Chippy: The Little Horse That Couldn't, Belches, Burps, and Farts--Oh My!, Peter Panda Melts Down!, Poopendous!, The Butt Book, and What's Afoot! Your Complete, Offbeat Guide to Feet. And if that's not enough, he's also written two hilarious joke and riddle books, The Universe's Greatest School Jokes and Rip-Roaring Riddles and The Universe's Greatest Dinosaur Jokes and Pre-Hysteric Puns. As one critic put it: "Bennett's use of rhyme is excellent; his stanzas flow and exude joviality in a manner that few writers since Dr. Seuss have truly mastered. Simply put, these books are a joy." (The Show Me Librarian) He is a native of Brooklyn, NY. Visit ArtieBennett.com . . . before someone else does!
Gr 1-3-In rhyming couplets, Professor P. Poopdeck gives readers "the inside scoop on every type and use of poop!" For example, termites pile their poop high in mounds, while "dung beetles roll it into balls/To gobble up when hunger calls." Some creatures "use poop to mark their scent" or to signal, "this is MY turf-STAY AWAY!" The cartoon-style pictures are lighthearted and entertaining, but really-should illustrations about poop be anything but fun? Larger libraries looking to increase circulation to young patrons who laugh at any mention of the word will want to consider this offering. Pair it with Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" books (Scholastic) and Taro Gomi's Everyone Poops (Kane/Miller, 1993) for a poop-tastic display.-Lisa G.
