If dinosaurs had any inkling as to how popular they’d end up, I’m sure they would have stuck around longer to enjoy their fame and fortune. Here are a few more new titles to add to your prehistoric, dino-inspired picture book collection, some serious, some silly. All fun. Dino-Daddy by Mark Sperring and Sam Lloyd […]

Do you like burps, slurps, snores or sneezes? How about monsters? What about monsters that burp, slurp, snore or sneeze (and fart)? Well, then, here's the book for you- Ten Monsters in a Bed!
A fun, colorful, noisy picture book- perfect to read before bedtime! It's published by Templar Publishing, the same wonderful UK publisher that I illustrate the shark series- Harry Hammer for!
Templar's description-
In this play on '10 in a bed', 10 monsters are very squished on a bunk bed. On each spread, a monster gets pushed out on to the floor, where readers can press them to hear the fun sounds they make, for example: snoring, scratching, burping, slurping, sniffing and farting.
In each spread, a different noisy monster is kicked out of the top bunk bed by his fellow monsters, where the reader can press a button to activate that monster's noise.
Some near-final sketches of the ten monsters-

As you know Puppicasso is scared of his own farts and the sound of farts in general.
Today he jumped at the start of sprinklers turning on, I guess they sounded like wet farts.
Enough said.

The Wall Street Journal has a look at the dearth of books that appeal to boys, which is why you are now seeing more books like Sir Fartsalot Hunts the Booger and It's Disgusting and We Ate It! True Food Facts from Around the World and Throughout History,
Read the story here.
Maybe I’m naïve, but I feel like I’m in the sweet spot. I write mysteries and thrillers, so while the main character is usually a girl, she’s a kick-ass girl who has to save the world, or herself, or both.

Given the hours of unwholesome family fun we've had recently with the Farting Fun Kit, I was highly amused by this article my brother sent me.
The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief: "flatus expelled through the anus." And while it's a natural bodily function, it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys are taking it to new heights and making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.
According to this week's Fire Cracker school newsletter though, the joke's on the boys as the penalty for "intentional farting" is now a detention.
Once you've stopped laughing, I'd ask you to ponder a few questions along with me, namely:
1) How, exactly, does one determine if a fart is intentional? Is it through facial expression? Post-flatus giggling? An absence of blushing on the part of the farter?
Enquiring Minds Want To Know.
2) Is "Flatus" really a word? If so, can I use it in my next book?
3) In fact, can my next book be about a school that bans intentional farting?

Here's a quick sketch I did while I was printing out a couple of manuscripts tonight.
Unfortunately, neither manuscript required a pipe-smoking man with a big butt (and a misplaced right leg) carrying a box.
It was done on watercolor paper from a Strathmore Sampler Pad...the paper is Imperial 140 lb. Cold Press.
Great Character.
