You’re getting a two-for-one deal on today’s Rockstar Book Tours stop! Mark Huffman has released two new books this year courtesy of Brown Books Kids, The Toot Fairy and Cheesemaker Durdsden. Both books are essentially modern fairy tales that are a bit shocking and crude but still perfectly appropriate for young readers. As long as you’re okay with gross things and potty humor, you’ll love them! The stories are clever and the rhyming prose flows well. Coupled with Dawn Davidson’s illustrations, they’re both fun, quick reads!

”Sorry, Walter the Farting Dog. I think it’s fair to say that this is probably the best picture book about toots I’ve ever read. Take my advice and put away your scruples. You shouldn’t turn up your nose at this.”
– Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal
”Wish I had thought of it first!”
– Adam Rex, Author/Illustrator of On Account of the Gum
When it’s time for Jessa the fairy to proclaim what kind of fairy she wants to be, she accidentally says ”toot” instead of ”tooth!” Now she’ll be in charge of finding all the toots from all the bottoms in the world. This is not exactly what she had in mind..

Cheesemaker Durdsden could hardly be called a cheesemaker, with how bland, rubbery, and flavorless his cheese tasted. And so, in order to better his skills and silence the critics, he went in search of any and every cheesemaking technique he could learn. That way, he could make cheese to be envied by every cheesemaker, and savored by every cheese enthusiast. Now he’s back with new skills, and some suspiciously delicious–deliciously suspicious–cheese to prove it. How could a man with such boring cheese before now make this tasty cheesy treat? You’ll never guess what fabled creature holds the secret to Cheesemaker Durdsden’s sudden success!

Mark Huffman writes about our shared human experiences, which is a pretentious way to say that he writes about toots and bottoms and food. He prepared for writing children’s books by spending much of his early life as an actual child. Unlike other children’s authors he might name who have spuriously claimed the title, he is a real doctor. He lives with his family in Texas.
