    ~ 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!

    A diabolical character is out to rewrite the fate of all fairytales in the eighth adventure in the New York Times–bestselling children’s series.   Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have studied hundreds of stories as part of their training as fairy-tale detectives. But they’re about to get caught up in the action when they follow the scheming Master into the Book of Everafter. Inside this mysterious tome, copies of the world’s fairytale characters live out their stories over and over again.   The Grimms must track down the Master while avoiding the Book’s tyrannical Editor—who is devoted to keeping the stories on track—and his army of story-gobbling revisers. In the Book of Everafter, stories can be rewritten and destinies changed, which is why Sabrina and Daphne must find the Master before he can alter his own fate—and the fate of the whole world.   Reissued with new cover art, these anniversary editions of the beloved Sisters Grimm series are the perfect opportunity for old fans to revisit the Grimm family’s adventures and for new readers to discover the magic of the series.
