Peeoh PaTANG!
Fluppo! Nurgle Nagoo! Boop! Zogan didn't know what poetry was. He only spoke gibberish on his home planet. Learning something new can be tough for anyone, but when the poetry teacher meets her most challenging student ever, she's the one who gets a hard lesson. From the author who brought you "The Whole Alphabet is Totally Embarrassed," and "Why Do I Stink?" Peeoh Patang is sure to bring even more giggles with the kind of off-the-wall silliness kids can identify with. Just like many young earthlings, Zogan is short, hyperactive, eager to explore, and doesn't understand that pants are not optional. Children will laugh out loud at Zogan's preposterous attempts at poetry, while grownups will be reminded that there is value in listening to the language of little beings. It's an ideal book for boys and girls who enjoy chanting, saying silly words, making silly sounds or driving their grownups bonkers. It's also fantastic read-aloud at circle time for educators and librarians.

Rudi Hooper’s Super Pooper-Scooper
Rudi has inadvertenty and rather naively become Sandbar Council's official dog dropping collector. Starting off by walking and using only plastic bags to 'collect' droppings and a sack to hold them Rudi developed a number of improved methods to collect the 'deposits'. His younger brother (Morris - narrator) is an embarrassed and unwilling helper. Rudi replaces carrying the sack to using a wheelbarrow. He then uses his bike to pull the wheelbarrow. This culminates in an engine driven variation of a garden vacuum attached to his bike to do the collecting. It has disastrous effects on the day he is to receive Student of the Month Award at his school. The backdrop to the events is Clean-Up Australia program, the Tidy Towns award and the school's involvement in both. The competition for public recognition creates some radical, but unwanted responses, by locals to help Rudi. It also leads to other students embarking on 'shady' tactics to win public kudos. To Morris's distress he unwittingly uncovers this information but is reluctant to acknowledge or expose it out of loyalty (and embarrassment) to his family. The humorous storyline is the dominant feature of the text. The social issues provide a relevant backdrop in a small town setting. Although there is a strong element of sibling rivalry the boys are actually supportive of each other even if it is not openly admitted.
