He’s beheld the butt and offered the scoop on poop. Now Artie Bennett takes young readers on a discovery of those little (and not so little) puffs that exit from our mouths and duffs—the burp, the belch, and the fart! With Bennett’s signature combination of real science and zany rhyme, kids will learn the how, why, and where of gas-tastic eruptions made by people and animals, such as:
• why we can’t burp while on our backs
• which animals can’t “cut the cheese”
• how fish communicate via burp bubbles
• why soda and burps go together
• who farts more—boys or girls
Capped off with a spread on “Fart-tastic Facts & Burp-tacular Bits,” this amazing, amusing mix of humor and nonfiction is an ideal draw for reluctant readers, classroom units on body science—and kids who just think burps and farts are funny!

look for this to be a hit with both kids and educators.
For as Mr. Bennett puts it:
Cows and pigs, crude or classy, Kids, grown-ups, we’re all . . . GASSY!
