Rudy
Toot-Toot has a special power, almost like a super-hero:
He can fart. It comes natural when you’re born on a bean
farm. The problem is that Rudy can’t
control the timing or the force behind his special gift.
His farts get him into a lot of trouble at
home and school, and after one monstrous blast scares all the Beanheads away
from the Toot-Toot Family Bean Market, it’s up to Rudy to find a way to use his
talent to lure the customers back before the bank takes away their home.
This
hilarious tale about self-control (and the lack thereof) will have readers
young and old laughing out loud. They
might even learn a thing or two along the way…

Congratulations, Rick! Nothing like the feel of your own book in your hands.
Thanks, Alex! It's awesome. I'm excited for school to start back up, I have a loyal following at my kids' elementary school, they were clamoring for this all year. I hoped to get it out in the spring, but working with illustrations takes longer than I thought it would.
Good Luck, Rick. I think I'll leave this one for the MG reviewers.
This is boy stuff.
So excited for this one to "come out." 'Cause it's a "gasser!"
(I never met a fart joke I didn't like.)
Yay; congrats Rick. This has been a long time in the works I know.
.....dhole
Yeah!! I will be ordering & distributing in TX.. Will you come for a book-signing?!!!
DG- It's more kids stuff than boy stuff...In my classroom readings, girls have laughed just as hard. It's a great book for anyone in elementary school (K-5)!
Laurel- I hope to blow them away!
Donna- It's amazing how slow the publication process is. It's even slower when dealing with illustrations, but I'm very happy with the final result!
Sharon- Do you know any elementary school teachers? I'll do free classroom visits with a writing workshop!
This is so fantastic! I'd wondered if you'd ever get it out there? Tell me is is self pubbed or did you go with a publisher?
I think my daughter would love a copy. She thinks farts are amazing. I'd be happy to do a review. piedmontwriter at gmail dot com
Thanks for clarifying that, Rick! I was judging from my experience as a big sis to a little bro.
I know someone with a son in the K-5 range, so I'll mention your book to her. She lives in Florida.
After all, R. Munsch wrote about the same special skill didn't he? I think I remember reading it to our girls.
DG- I hope your friend gets a copy, not just because I want the sales, but because I think this is a story kids connect with and it helps them to discover a love of reading. Sure the farts are a rather gratuitous way to lure them in, but there's a real story driving it all, and the blasts of gas to have serious plot consequences. Ultimately, it's a tale of self control and finding the right time and the right place, but it's not preachy, that just comes naturally through the story...
