Marty Pants is a children's book series by Mark Parisi.

The series follows the life of the titular Marty Pants, a young boy with dreams of being an artist. He likes to make art, any time, any opportunity. He also has something of a rather vivid imagination that often leads him to jump to wild conclusions about certain things.

The book has three books in the series:

** ''Book 1: Do Not Open!''
** ''Book 2: Keep Your Paws Off!''
** ''Book 3: How To Defeat A Wizard''

----
!!Marty Pants contains examples of:
* BrickJoke: In "Do Not Open!", Marty
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Marty's friend, Roongrat. He's often spouting things that are just factually not true in the slightest. Marty's made it a philosophy that, whatever Roongrat says, the opposite's true.
* ProtagonistTitle: Marty Pants, of course.
* TeensAreMonsters: Salvadore Ack, or as Marty calls him "Peach Fuzz", is a teenager who likes bullying Marty every chance he gets.
