BART KING

BART KING is the author of a number of humorous nonfiction books for middle/YA readers and immature adults. Among them are:

• The Big Book of Gross Stuff
• The Pocket Guide to Brilliance
• The Big Book of Boy Stuff
• The Pocket Guide to Mischief
• The Big Book of Girl Stuff
• The Pocket Guide to Magic
• An Architectural Guidebook to Portland (2nd edition, Oregon State University Press)

Of these, the most recent is The Big Book of Gross Stuff, which PBS recently graded with an “A.” (As Bart is a former middle-school teacher, this seems apt.) But perhaps his greatest achievement as a writer has been to incorporate his name into the actual TITLE of one of his books, namely Bart’s King-Sized Book of Fun, which will be published this September.

Bart has over a half-million books in print, and his work has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, and Australian. Finally, he prefers to be thought of as a “non-award winning author” despite some small evidence to the contrary.

Bart is a very funny guy.
