SOME FARTERS ARE BORN GREAT!
SOME ARE DESTINED TO RESCUE THE PLANET!
As much as I don't like fart books, kids love them and it's kids we are trying to encourage to read. Anyway Fart Boy and Reeky Dog is super funny and it's educational as well.
I loved that this wasn’t all silly jokes and
nonsense. It has a definite STEM element, funny and educational.
Children won’t even realise they are learning!
Fart Boy and Reeky Dog is a graphic novel and the first book in a new series by Joan Holub. Not only is the story laugh-out-loud funny, the over-the-top illustrations by Rafael Rosado are delivered in full blaring colour and pop from the page.
Baby Phartolomew is invented by evil scientist Professor Groovypants using his stink-o-meter. When Phartolomew is accidentally blasted out of the lab and onto the street he is adopted by Mr & Mrs Normal, they don't mind the smell.
Phartolomew is on a strict diet of NO BEANS, but what happens when the school runs out of pizza and all they have is bean tacos for lunch!?
Fart Boy and Reeky Dog is a hilarious STEM themed story featuring evil scientists, unlikely heroes, new friendships and all sorts of funny goings on.
I must admit I laughed a lot during the reading of this story.
With pages on critical thinking - thoughts, research and conclusions.
A diagram and explanation of internal digestion. (What makes you fart)
An, Are you evil? quiz.
Science themed questions.
Kids won't even realise they are learning while reading Fart Boy and Reeky Dog.
I'm eager for the next book now that Phartolomew has his new sidekick, Reeky Dog, and best friend Carl Bean by his side. And who is that girl at school that keeps saying Hi! to Phartolomew?
