Want a book that will make your kids giggle when you read it to them? Then, look no further than "Almost Everybody Farts" by Marty Kelley. I didn't even have to read the title of the book to the girls, as they guessed what it was about based on the unicorn on the front cover tooting out a rainbow. That alone had them laughing until they were almost crying. But, the best part what the story, which showed how almost everyone farts, except for moms.
Grandmas fart. Teachers fart. Terrifying creatures fart. But . . . is there someone who DOESN’T fart?
The girls giggled through the pages as they looked at the illustrations showing all different people and animals farting. They also loved hearing new ways to say farting like cutting the cheese and breaking wind.
The story itself is easy to understand and the pages contain short text, so it is a fast moving book to get through at bedtime or when you are looking for a book to distract your children (my girls have been toting this book around and I have found myself reading it a few times at restaurants as they wait for their meals). But, we warned, when you start talking about farts, your kids will probably want to show off how their tail pipes works or make pretend farting noises to get a laugh. Say the word "fart" and my girls burst out in giggles now, thanks in part to this funny book kids (and adults) of all ages will enjoy.
So, if you are ready to have your days filled with all-things farts, why not pick up a copy of the new release "Almost Everybody Farts" and get ready to tell your kids you are proper and that moms don't fart. :-)
