*Review* Farty Pants by Eric Geron

 

Genre: Children's 3-7 years
Published: December 19, 2023
Pages: 24


He farts! She farts! We all fart—but why? Combining science and history with humor, Farty Pants explains it all—complete with all-new fun-loving monster illustrations and hidden buttons that trigger ten unique fart sounds.

Were farts always taboo? Did kings and queens fart? Is there a difference between baby and grandpa farts? Learn all of this and more with facts that cover their loudness and speed, as well as how farts work differently in water, space, and beyond! 

Press the buttons to explore a world of fart sounds, including a mummy fart, a musical fart, a baseball fart, and more. Each sound relates to a humorous fact on the same page. You and the kids in your life will have a gas learning crazy fart facts, including:
 
  • The average person farts 14 times a day!
  • Philosopher Pythagoras believed you could accidentally fart out your soul.
  • The longest verified fart was by Bernard Clemmens of London: 2 minutes and 42 seconds!
  • Farts can travel at 10 feet per second (over 3 meters per second).

Who knew farts could be so educational? 
Farty Pants is sure to be a hit with any child who loves to talk about farting (pretty much every kid)!


I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review. 

This didn't feel much like a story, but more of a fact book, but the facts are all about farts. And what little boy or girl wouldn't love a book of fart facts? Because I'm actually a 12 year old boy trapped in the body of a 41 year old woman, I was also rather amused by this book. And I learned some things. 

The illustrations were very colorful, bright and fun, helping to show what the facts were explaining. And for a children's book, you can never go wrong using fun colorful monsters to get your message across. 

Overall I give Farty Pants 4.2967 out of 5 stars. - Katie
