Grompy Poop
It is with great pleasure that I present the second book in a continuing series by my daughter Aviva.
(You will note that there was an interval -- of about six months -- between the composition of the first half and the last half.)
And now, without further ado...

Aviva's book is so carefully done. I love the twists and turns in the plot, and the wonderful, vivid illustrations. I can tell she put a lot of work and thought into it. I think Aviva did a particularly excellent job describing what "mad" feels like in her carefully-done purple word: MAD on page 6. It looks very mad.
What I particularly like was the attention to detail in tying in Grompy Poop at the very end again.

(It's also sort of existential. I mean, what about grompy poop, in the larger scheme of things? "Whatever." Positively Sartrean--if one can be positively Sartrean.)

I liked both the title and when they call each other GROMPY POOP.
