Description
For fans of Jon Klassen and Peter Brown comes MORE DUNG!, a slyly funny and stunningly illustrated picture book about a greedy dung beetle by debut author-illustrator Frank Weber. The dung beetle thinks he has everything he needs: the warmth of the sun, a gurgling river, and as much dung as he could ever want. But when a leopard tells him of a farm with even MORE dung, the beetle's world suddenly looks small. And so he sets off to the farm, accruing more and more dung, building a veritable DUNG EMPIRE! But a tower of dung comes with a tower of risk, and soon our insect hero finds himself buried in his greed. (Yes, he's buried in poop.) Frank Weber seamlessly blends philosophical questions about greed with scatological humor and truly gorgeous artwork to create this special debut.

Reviews
★ "A sure storytime hit." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A visually comic picture book debut . . . about the power of appreciation--and poo." --Publishers Weekly "The combination of absurd humor and clever social commentary gives the book broad appeal, making it an easy choice for a giggly storytime or a discussion on what and how we decide to commodify things." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"A contemporary fable that reads more gracious than gross. . . . Weber's lush pencil and digital illustrations feature plenty of atmospheric effects and eye-catching perspectives." --The Horn Book Magazine
