Sacramento author Bill Kirk's children's picture book, "GREAT GOBS OF GUSTATION", was released in late August 2013. The book was published by Guardian Angel Publishing in Saint Louis, MO under their Health and Academic Wings imprint, which is ideally suited for children in "read alone" ages 8 - 13.

"GREAT GOBS OF GUSTATION" will be released simultaneously in e-book and hardcopy print form. The e-books will be distributed by Follett, the largest distributor of ebooks to schools and libraries, as well as through the Guardian Angel Publishing web site.

The print version will be available for sale from most online retailers, such as Amazon, Google, Target.com, Border Books and Barnes and Noble. It can also be ordered through your local brick and mortar bookstores, including Barnes and Noble and Borders Books.

"GREAT GOBS OF GUSTATION" is the eighth book in a series of anatomical rhymes by children's author Bill Kirk. The series, which is called THE SUM OF OUR PARTS, will eventually cover several anatomical systems including the skeleton, muscles, skin, circulation, respiration and many others. The entire collection will be "kid-friendly" with just the right balance of technical content, humorous verses and anatomical factoids, brought to life through the playful illustrations of artist Eugene Ruble.

If you have ever wondered about the whole eating thing, from taste buds to the taste center in your brain, this is the book to get you started on the search for answers to your questions. Through the combination of snappy rhyming verses and the informative "Factoids", you'll breeze through the subject matter in no time.

You'll be amazed at how fast you will learn about how the taste process works and where it occurs, how many taste buds you have on your tongue and whether you are a super taster or a non-taster. And believe it or not, your brain is super important to the sense of taste. The subject matter and presentation format are ideally suited for elementary school age children 6 to 12 years old and even older students having difficulty with technical jargon.

Book's Blurb: "THE INS AND OUTS OF AIR" is the seventh book in a series of anatomical rhymes by children's author Bill Kirk. The respiratory system is busy 24 hours a day, while we are awake and asleep. In fact, unless we are out of breath, we might not even know our lungs are on the job. This book will help you learn the basics about how the respiratory system works.

Author's Bio: Kirk's writing has been influenced by his travels on five continents and the every day inspiration from his grandchildren. In addition to stories written in rhyme, Kirk writes fiction and satire for local and national publications. Kirk also wrote news and features for two Sacramento newspapers in the mid-1990s, The Suttertown News and The Old City Guardian. His children's stories have appeared in Boys' Quest, Fun For Kidz, Grandparents, Wee Ones and Saplings magazines. His poems have also been published by North Dakota Horizons, Absolute Write and The Baseball Almanac.

Kirk says his goal for his children's stories is to challenge the imagination of his readers, young and old, by exploring everyday life, simply and profoundly, and having fun in the process. Bill and his wife, Rita (a clinical psychologist), married since 1969, have made Sacramento their home since 1985.
