Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

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.

Review

"For anyone who loved The Butt Book, you must immediately go and buy Artie Bennett's follow-up, Poopendous! It appears there is no topic Mr. Bennett can't make funny and educational. There aren't many picture books that teach kids that 'Monkeys fling when under stress. It helps the monkey decompress' and 'Seeds inside a critter's poop might go as far as Guadeloupe!' I'm not kidding when I say this came in handy at my son's preschool last week."
--The Huffington Post

"Guess what?!? We already have Poopendous!, and I have even been known to give spontaneous in-store readings. What a delightful, hilarious, informative, fascinating book.
Thank you for writing to us, and for writing such great books! Best of luck to you, and hip-poop-hooray!"
--Tegan Tigani (children's book buyer for Queen Anne Books)

"The book is infused with a delightful use of rhyme, onomatopoeia, remarkable facts, and extraordinary illustrations that kept the children mesmerized. Poopendous! is simultaneously whimsical and instructive. As an educator, I love it. The story serves as a fabulous starting point for language arts, science, math, cultural diversity lessons. Poopendous! reminds me of Dr. Seuss books that can be read and reread without ever getting old. Poopendous! has created quite a fan base in our community. We are anxiously awaiting the publication of your next book."
--Susan Cramer (reading specialist)

"If Dr. Seuss decided to write about bodily functions, he probably would have come up with something as zany as Poopendous! Artie Bennett's first book, The Butt Book, was an uproariously funny book about creatures' behinds. In his latest endeavor, Bennett tackles different types of poop and their uses. Mike Moran provides the vibrant, silly artwork that perfectly matches the crazy rhymes and topic. Do you want your kids to be eager to read? I bet this book will help. Highly recommended!"--The Children's and Teens' Book Connection

"Artie Bennett returns with another rib-cracking, jaw-breaking, wildly entertaining picture book called Poopendous! Illustrated by Mike Moran, it combines witty verses and funny illustrations to give the inside scoop about an icky-poo subject that people would rather not talk about, let alone say its name. If you're having second thoughts about reading this book, then I'm telling you right now: READ THIS BOOK! If Dr. Seuss or Roald Dahl were to pick up this book, I'm quite certain they would take delight in the title alone, and find the actual content even more delightful!"
--Gathering Books

    Hi! I'm the executive copy editor for a children's book publisher and I write a little on the side (but not the backside!). I would be hailed as the "Dr. Seuss of your caboose," with the publication of "The Butt Book," my first "mature" work. "The Butt Book" was showered with praise and won the prestigious Reuben Award for Book Illustration. I then answered the call of doody with my "number two" picture book, "Poopendous!," which published to great acclaim. Hmmm. Do you sense a theme? However, I took a slight detour with my next picture book, a more traditional, though no less hilarious, storybook entitled "Peter Panda Melts Down!," which came out just as panda fever was sweeping the nation. But then I got right back on track with the uproarious, explosively funny "Belches, Burps, and Farts—Oh My!" In 2019, another hilarious nonfiction picture book in verse, "What's Afoot! Your Complete, Offbeat Guide to Feet," published, reuniting me with Mike Moran, of "Poopendous!" fame. In February 2020, a horse of a different color, a picture-book biography of a one-of-a-kind racehorse, "The True Story of Zippy Chippy: The Little Horse That Couldn't," will publish. I'm also the author of a pair of side-splitting joke and riddle books--"The Universe's Greatest Dinosaur Jokes and Pre-Hysteric Puns" and "The Universe's Greatest School Jokes and Rip-Roaring Riddles"--each packed with more than 650 jokes and riddles, some of them funny! My claim to fame is that I was the youngest (at age thirteen) person to originate and sell a crossword puzzle to the New York Times. I went on to sell several dailies and two large Sunday puzzles to the Times before I began college. It's been downhill ever since. I live deep in the bowels of Brooklyn, New York, where I spend my spare time moving the car to satisfy the rigorous demands of alternate-side-of-the-street parking. I'm pleased to share the visionary promise of "The Butt Book," "Poopendous!," "Peter Panda Melts Down!," "Belches, Burps, and Farts—Oh My!," "What's Afoot! Your Complete, Offbeat Guide to Feet," "The True Story of Zippy Chippy: The Little Horse That Couldn't," "The Universe's Greatest Dinosaur Jokes and Pre-Hysteric Puns," and "The Universe's Greatest School Jokes and Rip-Roaring Riddles" with a wider audience.

Seriously - this book saved my sanity. We first discovered it on Netflix’ story time show. It made poop fun and somehow not scary to do in the toilet for my - yes - 4 year old!!! So, we bought the book and he finally did it THAT DAY. It’s what worked for us. He still occasionally asks us to read it while he poops.

I gave this to nephews and a grandaughter. I loved reading it to each of them on separate occasions. They laughed and loved the fun and sillynous of it. The author really caught what children of this age think is funny. Depending on the age this can be something that they are dealing with...and laughing at it helps to get through what may be uncomfortable. The boys, ages 7 through 3 all thought it was soooo great. Granddaughter waited until she was alone with a funny grandma to giggle.

There is nothing like potty humor to make kids laugh and adults alike who are not afraid to have fun and giggle with the kids.The illustrations are terrific and work so well with the silly rhyming stories. Too many harsh moments in life not to be able to appreciate some light hearted reading. Not only is it funny but it tells the true story of a very natural fact of life. No harm done here...just healthy laughter. To the guy with the bad review....If you don't like potty humor, why did you read it?

It seems that my 9 year old is obsessed with poo. She changes the words to songs she hears to include the word "poop," and when I asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she answered, "Poop!" She thinks its hysterical. She's getting this great book under the tree this year. Now...if i can just get her to stop singing in public (church) about poo.....
