No One Likes a Fart: Winner of the ABIA Picture Book of the Year

Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2018 ABIA PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR A sweet, funny story about accepting yourself and finding a friend who loves you just the way you are. Mostly, though, it's about a fart. And fart jokes. Loooots of fart jokes. Fart is excited! He's desperate to make friends and have fun. But no one likes a fart. Not even a fart with a heart. Too smelly. Too embarrassing. Too gross. 'Just like a powerful, unidentified fart, Foster Blake's book has everyone talking.' MamaMia Zoe has written lots of grown-up books, none of which mention a single fart. She is the mother of two little people and a cat with a permanently cranky face. She wants it known that despite writing this book, she still doesn't like farts, even if her husband Tooty McFluffson refuses to acknowledge this. 'Who would have thought a story about farts and burps could be so heartwarming?' Sunday Telegraph 'A beautifully written book that will have you in hysterics.' James Wright, Impulse Garner 'Young children just beginning to read will love this book - especially if that means grabbing any opprtunity they can to say the word "fart"!' Daisy Chein, Melbourne's Child Also available from Zoe Foster Blake- No One Likes a Fart Fart and Burp are Superstinkers Back to Sleep Scaredy Bath Battle Mum
