There are several young children books today which deals with the unmannerly vice of farting.  Truth be known, it's a vice that is constantly exploding 'round the world!  It's amazing Earth has not expelled itself into another orbit!  In this story, little Tommy does just that!  He's proud of his farts.  He has special names for them like "The Ripper" or "Foghorn."  His mom was so angry with him she sent him to his room saying, "If you farted any harder, you might take off in flight!"  Ummm, Tommy thought about that and envisioned the fun it would be soaring like a plane or blasting off like a rocket.  He thought he'd give it a try and went downstairs in the night and ate everything in the refrigerator that created lots of gas.  His tummy built up so much pressure, it was hard to hold it back.  He put on his helmet and let it go! Out the window he flew and kept on going!  I loved this cute story, kids will really laugh at Tommy's adventure.  The illustrations by J. Fetterling are wonderful, and you can enlarge them on your Kindle Fire by tapping the picture twice. I can't wait to have the youngsters from next door come over to hear me read this story.  I'll have to remind their mom to limit the gaseous foods in their refrigerator!  This is the first episode of Tommy's space adventure.  The next story is "The Boy Who Farted and Went Into Space."  Don't miss it.
