Now this IS funny.If there’s anything that can easily make a child roar in laughter, it’s fart jokes or anything that has to do with farting. Prolific children’s book author Patt Hatt has actually crafted a surprisingly adorable tale that includes all the fart jokes you can think of, and one that’s actually fun (and safe) to read to kids.Like other Patt Hatt children’s books, ‘A Fart Apart’ is told in a rhyming narrative—it is naughty, funny, and still exudes that flair for entertainment that’s just right for its target young readers. I’m in my thirties, and I laughed—especially when Mass Gas and Gassy Lassy let loose their respective stinkers, or when, finally, Chipper Ripper had what he deserved all along: poop in his pants.The colourful illustrations are also worth commending—the quirky, The Simpsons-esque style just goes well with the book’s story and subtly conveys the intended tongue-in-cheek humor. Funny as it is, ‘A Fart Apart’ doesn’t go over the top or to such extremes that it becomes “toxic” for young minds—it is a harmless tale that while entertaining also does not forget the most important aspect of any book for children: the moral lesson.Get a copy of this book today. If this is the first Patt Hatt book you’ve ever encountered, you should try and read his other earlier books. Highly recommended for young readers.
