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, a means of tracking and marking, housing insulation, food, fertilizer, fuel) are all conveyed with humor and a certain demand for...more

It’s true: little kids love to talk about poop. Parents can help them channel that attraction, and get them talking and laughing and learning abut poop all at the same time with the help of a new picture book for ages 4 and up called Poopendous. Written by Artie Bennett, who also wrote The Butt Book, Poopendous uses rhyming couplets to help kids learn about a few facts about the stuff that comes out of every animal’s body.

Well Professor P. takes two kids (a boy and a girl) on the journey of learning about types of poop and uses for it! He goes on about how farmers use it for fertilizer and how people use it for houses and heat! Animals use it to mark their territories and seeds travel in animal poop. You really get the scoop on poop!

This seems to be my year for examining poop, as I discovered and loved the book Poop Happened by Sarah Albee a few weeks ago. This time, I have had the pleasure of reading a picture book by Artie Bennett, writer of The Butt Book, about “rear ends in all their variety”. Obviously Artie thinks often that the ends of things are just as good as the beginnings. This book is funny, interesting, and beautifully fits younger children’s interests (and giggles) about poop. The text rhymes, and introduces...more

The Tao of poo, revealed!
In 2010, Artie Bennett gave us his hilarious classic, ‘The Butt Book’, an irreverent ode to that much ignored body part. He now returns with what is, quite literally, his ‘number two’ book - ’Poopendous’ , best described by its own byline, ‘The inside scoop on every type and use of poop.’ Mike Moran’s colourful illustrations are zany, and a terrific complement to Artie’s rib-tickling prose.
Much like its cheeky predecessor, ‘Poopendous’ is whacky, inventive and a laugh r...more

Last year I reviewed Artie's The Butt Book. Earlier this year he approached me to review his new book Poopendous. I admit the title had me rolling my eyes - Poopendous: The Inside Scoop on Every Type and Use of Poop - but I have a son who I thought would likely enjoy this book. After all it seems that burping, farting & pooping are subjects young boys find hilarious.

I have mixed feelings about this title. The digital artwork is vibrant and appealing. The rhyming text moves the book along and creates interest in the subject, but there were some issues with pacing. The text begins by confirming the fact that everyone poops and provides a few interesting facts (i.e. different terminology for poop etc). It then goes off on a tangent to describe the textures and types of poop different animals produce before it gets back on track and lays out an interesting fact...more
Okay, the adult in your says, “Gross.” The kid in you, however, is wondering how we’ve come this far without someone writing a book like this. Kids love this topic, so why not make it educational too? From what different types of animal poop is called, to its shape or size and to how it is used, kids will be on the floor laughing, not realizing they are learning a bunch of neat information.

Professor Poopdeck takes two children on a safari-style adventure where they learn all about the terms, types, and uses for dung. While poo as a subject can seem disgusting, the book will subtly help children learn about the benefits of poo while they're giggling themselves silly. For instance, dung can be used for fuel, manure, or marking an animal's territory. Out of all the different things in this book that you'll learn about poo, my favorite by far is what the monkeys do.

I was lucky enough to have children's author, Artie Bennett, send me The Butt Book to review last year. The grandkiddos loved it so of course I said yes when he asked if I would like to read and review his new book! Poopendous! is another delightfully silly (yet tasteful) book that is entertaining as well as educational. Professor P. Poopdeck is our narrator and teaches us that different animals make different shapes and there are even a variety of uses for poop. All of this and more are describ...more
Everything you ever wanted to learn about poop and some. Kids will love this picture book filled with facts about poop. The thing I found most interesting is how poop help plants travel from one place to another. The fruit eating critter that enjoyed lunch in one place will leave his poop often in a totally different place. Resulting in the well fertilized seeds taking root somewhere it otherwise might not.

Professor S. Poopdeck in your guide through the non-fiction world of poop. Yes. Poop. Now. . .who's daring enough to bring this one in for a little non-fiction fun with your common core state standards. No? Okay. Quick? What shape is a womat's poop? Don't know. . .hmmm. . .you didn't read Artie's book? Oh my. Pair this one up with THE BUTT BOOK by the same author.

My boys LOVE this book! So do I! Great writing and great pictures!
Heard the author read this at BookFestPA 2012...hilarious
A light-hearted look at poop and its value.
The story of poo. 'nuff said! :)
Very cute, and it rhymes!
With "The Butt Book" (Bloomsbury, 2010), a one-two punch in the funny bone! Pages and pages of rhymes about poop and butts; just think of all the new vocabulary they will learn.
Well, it is funny and I know a lot of kids who will laugh when you read this.

A funny, light-hearted book filled with facts about poop and all of its uses. Told through a fun rhyming jingle-like verse and narrated by a quirky professor, the book is guaranteed to inform and entertain.
To be honest, I was surprised that the book didn't mention the new elephant dung paper products you can buy many places now.
