Review by Karen Hendriks

The bestselling creators of the Fart Monster and Dinosaur Dump have created a unique perspective on the close relationship fathers have with their kids. This is a book for kids to read with their Dad.

Sometimes all kids want to do is have a little fun when they read. And I can’t think of a better way to celebrate fatherhood than reading this hilarious book. How bad can a fart really be? Well, you are about to find out as ten friends share how their Dads’ bottoms erupt. Each Dad has their own unique and distinct farting style and to make it even funnier the genius of Matt Stanton’s illustrations adds more layers of humour. The characters facial expressions are a crack up.

The text dances with four lines on each page supported by the cartoon-like illustrations in bright colours. This picture book is a rip roaring read that celebrates the relationships that kids have with their fathers. Peg your nose and take a deep breath as you explore the world of Dad’s farts. You won’t be disappointed.
