New Release:
The Big Book of Gross Stuff (Gibbs Smith Publisher), the latest release from Bart King, is now available for purchase.
Description:
Some books are impossible to put down. But Bart King’s latest, The Big Book of Gross Stuff, might be too disgusting to pick up! Intended for readers age 8 to 12 —and for immature adults— it’s the go-to volume for everything from boogers, B.O., and belches to sneezes, diseases, and demon cheeses.
As a longtime middle-school teacher, King began writing to get reluctant readers hooked on books. His aim with Gross Stuff (Gibbs Smith Publisher, 320 pages) was to explore international standards of disgust, while also delving into history and science. This is the same approach King took to his other titles like The Big Book of Boy Stuff (once Amazon’s bestselling children’s book) and The Pocket Guide to Mischief.
