Have you ever looked a bird dead in the eye and wondered what it
was thinking? With Effin' Birds, the most eagerly anticipated new
volume in the noble avocation of bird identification, you can
venture into nature with confidence. This farcical field guide will
help you identify over 200 birds, but more importantly, for the
first time in history, it will also help you understand what these
birds are thinking: The vainglorious grebe is acutely aware of its
own magnificence. The hipster pelican thinks the world is a
shitbarge. The overbearing heron wishes you better luck next time,
fucknuts. The counsellor swallow wants you to maybe try not being a
dickhead... and many, many more. Alongside beautiful,
scientifically accurate illustrations and a whole lot of swearing
is incisive commentary on modern life and the world we, as humans,
must navigate. Or maybe it's just some pictures of effin' birds,
okay?

and salsa. When the rest of the barnyard gets a whiff of the spicy
smells and want to join in, it can mean only one thing . . .
FIESTA! But when the big day arrives, all their spicy southwestern
supplies are gone! Could Mr. and Mrs. Nuthatcher have caught on to
the flavor craze?
In this wildly charming and fantastically imaginative story by the
New York Times bestselling author of Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair
of Underwear, a young animal expert knows just what to do when she
spots her teacher in the wild. Miranda is an animal expert. Or at
least, she watches a lot of Nature Joe. Nature Joe is incredible.
He rescues animals, returning them to their natural habitat. Mrs.
Birdley is a teacher. The natural habitat of a teacher is a
classroom. So when Mrs. Birdley escapes school and ends up wild,
loose, and confused at the local grocery store, Miranda knows just
what to do: she must use her brain, her guts, and her extensive
knowledge of Nature Joe to rescue Mrs. Birdley-at any cost! This
delightfully over-the-top picture book by newcomer Emma Reynolds
explores the weirdness of seeing a teacher outside of school and
will have young readers laughing out loud every time they read.
Rex Dexter is cursed...with brains...and daring...and more than his
fair share of devilish good looks. But also with an actual curse:
dead animals keep showing up in his bedroom, wanting him to solve
their murders. After successfully sleuthing a series of endangered
animal assassinations, Rex is pretty sure he's home free,
spiritually speaking. But that's when he finds a two thousand pound
narwhal in his beanbag chair. And this tough guy is dead. And super
crabby about it. Fishy business is at hand. And as if that's not
bad enough, Rex's mom has a stressful new job. His new teacher may
be part of a Russian hit squad. His best friend Darvish is
distracted by a role-playing game. And, horror of horrors, Rex may
accidentally have a girlfriend. Rex Dexter is neck-deep in dead pet
problems. And he's determined to solve them. Or let his best friend
Darvish die trying.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Aaron Reynolds comes the
third hilariously macabre mystery in The Incredibly Dead Pets of
Rex Dexter series. My name is Rex Dexter. Yes. THAT Rex Dexter. The
one cursed with the ability to see and talk to dead animals. The
solver of atrocities against the four-footed. The savior of the
flipper-finned. Save your standing ovation for later, because I
have bigger things on my mind. Rabbits. Specifically, dead rabbits.
And not just anybunny. This particular gaggle of rabbits once
belonged to the Astounding Isabel, Middling Falls' foremost
birthday party magician. One thing has quickly become
clear...somebunny hates magic. Whoever it is, they're attempting to
put the Astounding Isabel out of the birthday biz for good. And
they're willing to whack a whole lotta bunnies to do it. It's a
cold cruel world out there. But don't worry. I'm on the case. And
so is Darvish. And Drumstick. And possibly several dozen rabbits.
The point is, nobunny pulls one over on Rex Dexter...and his best
friend...and his dead chicken. Nobunny.

Nerdy Birdy likes reading, video games, and reading about video
games, which immediately disqualifies him for membership in the
cool crowd. One thing is clear: being a nerdy birdy is a lonely
lifestyle. When he's at his lowest point, Nerdy Birdy meets a flock
just like him. He has friends and discovers that there are far more
nerdy birdies than cool birdies in the sky. Everything is looking
up until a new bird moves into the neighbourhood. She looks lonely.
What's a nerdy birdy to do?
From New York Times bestselling author Aaron Reynolds comes the
latest installment of Caveboy Dave, a middle-grade graphic novel
series perfect for fans of Captain Underpants. Twelve-year-old Dave
Unga-Bunga is having a great year: he survived his deadly
Baby-Go-Boom ceremony, he's earned the respect of the villagers of
Bleccchh, and he just invented ice cream and summer vacation.
Before the ice cream melts, Dave and his friends spot a plume of
smoke on the horizon (could there be others nearby?) and suddenly
Shaman Faboo--the glue that holds the community together--goes
missing. With no one to tell them what to do or how to think, the
village panics and elects Dave as their new leader. If Dave can't
find Shaman Faboo and bring him back, he'll be doomed to a life of
boredom and something much worse: public service! Not So Faboo, the
second book in the Caveboy Dave series, delivers irresistible
characters, big thrills, and even bigger laughs.
Nerdy Birdy and his best friend, Vulture, are very different. Nerdy
Birdy loves video games, but Vulture finds them BORING. Vulture
loves snacking on dead things, but Nerdy Birdy finds that GROSS.
Luckily, you don't have to agree on everything to still be friends.
One day, Nerdy Birdy joins Tweetster, and the friend requests start
flying in. Vulture watches as Nerdy Birdy gets swept up in his new
friendships, but when she finally gets angry, Nerdy Birdy knows
just what to do to make things right.
After their latest quest, Fart, Pan, Moxie, and TickTock return to
the Great and Powerful Kevin to claim their reward - a chance for
Pan to see her mother, who died many years ago. But bringing back
Pan's mum seems impossible. Is Kevin full of hot air? When our
heroes sniff out the truth behind his secret plans, a terrifying
danger is unleashed, sending the friends on a nail-biting journey.
Will their nose for trouble take them down for good? Or will they
finally prove that they deserve the sweet smell of success? In this
epic conclusion to the first four books in the Fart Quest series,
Fart and friends discover that a true hero is not measured in the
sum of their mistakes. But in the difference they make in spite of
them.
