The Big Bang and Other Farts

“How else were Daisy Bird and Marianna Coppo supposed to follow their previous collaboration, Whose Poo? In the equally uninhibited picture book The Big Bang and Other Farts: A Blast Through the Past, the returning collaborators deliver not only unremitting humor but also something to think about between laughs.” —STARRED REVIEW, Shelf Awareness

”[The art gives] each scene a kind of history-book dignity that’s ripe for being mischievously undermined.” —Publishers Weekly

“Child readers will be as tickled as the mouselings are by this twisted history, and they will certainly love searching for the green speech bubble with “Pffft!” in each historical scenario.” —Booklist
