This book is so spot on for children. Just the other day I was in the car with two of my sons and had to roll down the windows because they were busy at the back having a fart war. "You did", "You did it first" "No you did it first" were some of the words that made sense through all the giggles and laughter!I think children love a good `Fart Challenge'(that sounds like a title for a book!) with each other.Back to the book: This book is entertaining and cleverly written. I enjoyed the subtle use of rhymes and the surprising twists in the story line embedded in a day to day tale. Children and their parents will not be disappointed no matter the number of other `Fart' related books they may have read.This book also carries many underlying educational values by teaching the children the types of people they may have in their neighbourhood; the older people, the ambulance services, people at the roadside as well as those next door.Incidentally the child is also likely to pick up the undertone of a good work ethic that Arthur displayed, the instrumental support of his parents as well as the effects of songs on people's hearts!The idea of singing and farting is a good story line that not only worked in this book but will work in practice too!Worth ever cent of the cost and look forward to reading the rest  of the series.
