My review of Don't Fart in the Pool!

Don't Fart in the Pool is a story to be read simply for the laugh-out-loud fun of it.
 
I'm not a big fan of 'fart' books but I know they are hugely popular with children and a vast array of titles can be found in any bookstore. 
 
Jay actually thought this story was hilarious, as I'm sure any six-year-old would. 

Stan has a habit of farting in the pool when out swimming - splash around a bit and no-one will notice the bubbles. 
Only this time, after a big night of tacos, Stan was at the local pool and his stomach was gurgling and grumbling and, well, it wasn't a fart that ensued.

This is a lighthearted fun story with bright full spread illustrations and large print to encourage self reading.
There is a fun suspenseful build up to the big embarrassing moment and even when you know what is going to happen next it's still quite funny to turn the page to see the big brown stain spreading across the pool.

Moral of the story: Never trust a fart!

Jay's rating 4/5     ⭐⭐⭐⭐
