The Secret Life of Farts

A witty and fun, very short book about farts written in short poet form supplemented with drawings. It’s a fast read that brightened my day, and gave me some laughs. My favourite thing is the wittiness in the jokey poems, but I wonder if children and youngsters will get all the nuisances in them. Maybe that’s the thing, everyone understands them in their own way. When you need to take a break from reality, you need some laughs, but you’re short of time, read this book!

Well who would have thought a 37 year old adult would have laughed out loud about a book about farts! Well this one did!
A quick versed story which were told in rhyme which were actually done very well and weren't just added just because they rhymed which I find some books do.
Perfect book that I am sure will make many children smile - along with their mum's and dads too no doubt.

'The Secret Life of Farts'- the title drew me in at once.
The book is extremely witty and written in a poetic manner. The illustrations are beautiful and a treat to the eye. Fun read, very cute and perfect for kids. Definitely gave me major Dr.Seuss vibes.

Review to come February 2nd on my blog.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I was quite curious about this book. Despite being 18+ I still always love books about subjects like farts, I guess I will never grow up. :P I was curious about what the secret life of a fart or farts would be. I like the the book cover has a whoopee cushion (or Lordie Cushions we have to believe Aunty Donna :P ).

In this book we read about different kind of farts and about why farts are so great. In this book wae see a fart from a cook who gets startled by a robber, but also a diver underwater who makes such a big fart bubble a fish gets stuck in it, or the classic farts in an elevator. And there are many more fun examples.Along the way we see the reactions of animals and people. I had such a big laugh about the different farts and to see how they wafted away out of the butts. But the biggest laugh definitely comes from the reactions of the animals/people.

I like that this was told in verse/rhyme as it made the book more silly and fun to read.

The art/illustrations was fun as well and I really liked the style. It was very colourful and the farts well drawn (like that they also form shapes).

All in all, this was a fun fartastic book about farts. Kids will love it (and adults like me).

This was HILARIOUS! The rhymes make you crackle with laughter. Fart jokes and fart rhymes. Runners, divers, royalty, travellers, robbers —all either farting or affected by farts. Would recommend the book for kids. They would be rolling in laughter. I can imagine them reading the rhyming lines again and again. And the illustrations are amazing too.

Note to parents : nothing crass or vulgur. Some might be worried with the title of the book. This picture book is simply pure fun and humour.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
I really loved this book! It's written in verse, it's soooo silly and also normalizes farting! I honestly had a great time reading it, and laughed along the way, so I would recommend this wholeheartedly! Kids will LOVE this book!!!

My 7yo LOVED this book! He laughed so hard through the whole book. It was a fun rhythmic read. We will definitely be reading this a lot!

I received this book from Netgally in exchange for an honest review!
As a teacher, the title had me hooked to read more. The taboo act of "letting one rip" finally has its moment to shine. This is a a quick page turner full of rhymes and bursts of giggles. Children learn how to use descriptive language, figurative language, and verse in a whole new way.

The Secret Life of Farts had me laughing from page one.

Its a terrific book and would be a super stocking filler for anyone who finds humor in farts. I laughed out loud a few times while reading the poems (Maybe its because I live with 2 sons!!!)

The artwork adds to the humor with great drawings throughout. It was a lighthearted read and one you would go back to for another chuckle time after time!

Thanks to Netgalley and Pushkin Press for the ARC.

A funny tale of farts. As someone who typically does not enjoy potty humor, I found this book clever and somehow charming.

I am obsessed with farts. Why do they happen? Why do some people fart more than others? Less than? Why do some smell less? Smell more? I laughed and I learned. Not just for kids! Highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book is hilarious! I am not ashamed to say that not only did my kids and nephew love it, I shared it with family on zoom and the adults were in stitches too. Needless to say you have future buyers in us!

Ok, this book is hilarious! I've never read something like this to my kids before, and I never will again. Kids will have fits of gut-busting laughter while reading about farts.

Genius! A very clever rhyming book all about farts. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and match the brilliant text perfectly. My only wish is that it was out in time for Christmas as there are so many people - children and adults! - I'd like to buy it for!

I liked the idea behind this book and there are not many children out there that don't think a fart is very funny!

The book was well written and it did make me smile, the illustrations in the book were perfect for this one!!

This was a funny read - 4 stars from me for this one and I can see it being a hit with a lot of kids out there!

This is one of the best and most hilarious books I've ever read! I laughed a lot, and I'm thinking about hanging one of the verses in my bathroom! I'm sure every adult and child would want to read this great book again and again. Also, the illustrations are excellent!

Farts tend to be either considered impolite to mention or a source of jokes. Regardless of the viewpoint, farts happen. The Secret Life of Farts is a short book that celebrates the exhaust that may not get the attention if should.

Filled with colorful illustrations, the pages tell about different farts and farters in a rhyming format. Each page is short and easy to read, so many ages can enjoy the book. However, it might be better suited for older children because of the format.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. It's bound to be a hit with kids. Mine certainly find anything to do with farts funny. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

The title will appeal to many kids. The illustrations were fun but the sparse text detracted from the reading experience.
