Rhyming couplets feature Professor Poopdeck and two young friends as he takes them on a type of poop safari. Words for poop (i.e. guano, number two, ca-ca), its forms and styles (cubes, tubular, wet and dry), and myriad of uses (i.e. souvenirs, fertilizer, fuel) are all conveyed with humor and a certain demand for respect. Full color.
Feet. They’re everywhere! We share them with bats, cats, rats, even gnats! But not all feet are the same. Some are sticky, and some are stinky. Some can hear, and some can taste. There’s a wondrous world of feet out there, especially animal feet. It gives one paws. Artie Bennett directs his gaze downward now to deliver the final word on feet. In well-crafted, hilarious verses that teem with facts and fun, Artie identifies the parts of the foot, the unique adaptations of assorted animal feet, the largest human feet ever, and much, much more. Mike Moran, acclaimed illustrator of Poopendous!, puts his best foot forward with uproarious artwork that both enlightens and delights. Feet have never been in better hands! There’s even a two-page fact spread, “Feet Notes,” for those eager to jump into this fascinating subject with both feet. What’s Afoot! is guaranteed to knock your socks off! Artie and Mike collaborated earlier on Poopendous!, about which the Huffington Post crowed, “It appears there is no topic Mr. Bennett can’t make funny and educational.” And the Bay Weekly said, “Bennett’s rhymes and Mike Moran’s colorful cartoonish illustrations make the book a joy for kids and adults.”

"Zippy Chippy is descended from the leading legends of horse racing. He is destined for greatness and glory. But . . . when the starting bell rings, it's anybody's guess what Zippy will do. Will Zippy go for a gentle trot around the track or stop and smell the roses? Or, perhaps, never even leave the starting gate?! What's an owner to do? Try and try again! After all, he believes in Zippy- and, besides, the horse is now a part of the family. But as Zippy's losses mount, a funny thing happens. People take notice of the hapless, cupcake-loving horse. Could it be that they're betting on Zippy to win?"-- Provided by publisher
Das langsamste Rennpferd aller Zeiten
Alle Welt setzt größte Erwartungen in Zippy Chippy, denn schließlich ist dieses Rennpferd geradezu royaler Abstammung. In seinem langen Stammbaum wimmelt es von glorreichen Vorfahren. Zippy dagegen lässt sich auf der Rennbahn lieber Zeit – frei nach dem Motto: Der Weg ist das Ziel. Überhaupt stellt er sich als quirliger Zeitgenosse heraus. Er spielt gerne Streiche und hat eine Schwäche für Pfefferminzbonbons. Doch obwohl er immer als Letzter ins Ziel kommt, mausert sich Zippy Chippy mit seiner liebenswert-störrischen Art zum Sieger der Herzen. Artie Bennett erzählt die Geschichte nach wahren Begebenheiten im amüsanten Ton eines Rennprofis. Dave Szalay fängt Zippy Chippys exzentrischen Charakter mit seinem lockeren Strich zeichnerisch ein. Gemeinsam haben sie eine Hommage an ein heute schon legendäres Pferd geschaffen.
