Book Description

Series: Simpsons Library of Wisdom | Publication Date: October 12, 2004

The Bart Book, an all-new book from the new series The Simpsons Library of Wisdom.
THE SIMPSONS LIBRARY OF WISDOM
Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, offers a brand-new series of portable and quotable books that will eliminate the need for all religions and philosophies, exalt man's role in the universe, and make the world a better place...sort of. No other television show in history has commented so freely and so humorously on modern times, and there seems to be no end in sight for the sharp satire and pointed parody that The Simpsons serves up every night of the week all around the world. So collect the first two volumes, The Homer Book (publishing March 2005) and The Bart Book, and witness all the wit and witticism that pass, quite rightly, for wisdom nowadays.
THE BART BOOK
The human condition, the meaning of life, the nature of the universe - it's all here in the musings of one of the century's greatest philosophers...Bart Simpson! With brilliant observations on everything from sibling rivalry, the media, and religion, the sage of Springfield explains it all to you!

This review is from: The Bart Book: The Simpsons Library of Wisdom (Paperback)

This slim little volume features everything you'd ever want to know about one of your favorite Simpsons characters, Bart. The book opens with a timeline reviewing all the significant milestones in Bart's life. The various "Bart Zones" sections describe in detail some of Bart's most-visited sites, including the school cafeteria and his tree house. Also featured are significant people in Bart's life, from his school friends and enemies to the girls who have stolen his heart. Of course, a book without Bart wouldn't be complete without some mischievousness, so you'll also get some ideas for making prank telephone calls as well as suggestions for Bart's "Dream Tattoos." Finally, the book begins and ends with Bart's Top 40 and his Bottom 40, respectively. A great stocking stuffer for any die-hard Simpsons fan!

This review is from: The Bart Book: The Simpsons Library of Wisdom (Paperback)

Brilliant! Includles profiles of characters like Fat Tony, as well as valuable sections such as "pullable pranks." Almost every page is a new original concept with one of the highlights being a delightful review of how to annoy adults by having "...fun with facial muscles." And did you know that Bart plans to change his name to Steve Bennett when he is older?

My family loves the Simpsons. For some reason they just can't get enough. So, I bought them the books. Not only did I buy the Bart book, I bought the Homer, Lisa, and Ned Flander's Book of Faith. They are all hilarious!

If you are a Simpsons fan I highly recommend these books. They will make you laugh!
