3 out of 5 stars Sneaking Science into Body Humor   May 13, 2009

Another My Body Science book in the spirit of Everyone Poops. It's more descriptive and explanatory, though, meaning it fits the 4-8 crowd better than 0-4. I have boys, but I presumably all small children are entertained by flatulence; this book capitalizes on this by providing humorous images of animals and people passing gas, while giving an introduction to the digestive process that produces it. There is one image of nudity, with two people passing gas in a bathtub, and a little boy is shown from the front. Parents who object to the word "fart" can easily fill in a more polite alternative, except for the "fartheewell" ending. The humor is mildly rude so I don't recommend leaving this within arm's reach if your children are in the habit of asking company for a read-aloud.

Nice job on the book. How can people not like books about farts? Check out the lastest by Bach Anon called Dropping Almonds to see how poop serves as a good metaphor in corporate America.


4 out of 5 stars Technical for kids   October 15, 2008

It gets into a lot of really science-y stuff for a kids book, but its still a hoot and a holler. If I could get all the books in this series in a boxed set I would because they're so funny and will actually teach kids.


3 out of 5 stars A More Advanced Book than I'd Anticipated   August 13, 2008

I really thought that this book would appeal to my 2 year old, who I am potty training. I was wrong. This book is really more for a 5 year old or possibly older. After all, what school age kid doesn't think that farting is hilarious. The pictures are great, but the story isn't appealing for small kids.


1 out of 5 stars Not as expected and not recommended.   August 9, 2008

I was dissappointed with this book. While it starts out ok, it quickly deteriates. Imagine, telling children to go ahead, let that fart out. Not that I think a child can't fart, but, what about some common courtesy to those around that may have to smell that fart. This book was also too technical for children or at least not written to a reasonable level. Not Recommended, keep looking, there are better books on the subject, ones that will review the subject in an educational but entertaining manner.
