My boys are still young enough to giggle at the word “fart” (I might still be actually) but old enough to at least know how to navigate gaseous activities appropriately. So this book may amuse them immensely, but it’s written to help explain gas to pre-schoolers (maybe Kindergarteners). Essentially, there’s Billy and a “monster” that give him a bad reputation (and smell) by farting at the most inopportune times. Spoiler alert: Billy learns to excuse himself and take his smells and sounds elsewhere.It’s a cute book, but I probably wouldn’t have used it as a teaching device for my boys even if it had been available. Then again, kids love books about poop, farting, and boogers.By the way, I received a complimentary digital edition of this book from Story Cartel because I promised to write an honest review. I found it amusing, honestly. (You should see what I wrote about those other books... )
