    ~ From the Author of the International Phenomenon EVERYBODY POOPS! ~ 
Everybody toots—it's true! 
For the little ones just discovering the mysteries of their own bodies, the bigger ones needing reassurance that the most elusive and spontaneous of their bodily functions is as natural as can be, and the biggest ones who still hold a fondness for toilet humor, Everybody Toots! is overly inflated with barefaced and cheeky illustrations and the truth about who’s doing the tooting: every body (and nearly every animal) is doing it! 
Destined to incite giggling fits and all-ages laughter, Everybody Toots! exposes one of the least talked about facts we all have in common the world over and among all walks of life, benefiting the youngest of us by opening the discussion, promoting comfort with their bodies, and helping them feel included. Pass wind with pride!

    "There was an ol' Cajun who swallowed a gnat. Imagine that, he swallowed a gnat. Why he did dat?" In this retelling of the classic nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, the gnat is soon joined by a mosquito, a raccoon, a hound, and other swamp creatures. But when the old Cajun tries to swallow an alligator, he gets a big surprise. This book's imaginative, collage-style illustrations will enchant and inspire young readers. Mrs. Kadair uses pebbles, Spanish moss, and other authentic Louisiana ingredients to bring the old Cajun's story to life. Children and adults alike will enjoy the clever, rhyming text.
