Farty Tales is such a fun and clever spin on history—Emma and Ollie’s time-traveling romp through ancient Egypt, medieval castles, and even Mozart’s world had me smiling the whole time. It's packed with just the right mix of humor and actual facts, making it both entertaining and sneakily educational. I enjoyed it because it didn’t talk down to kids; it embraced the silliness while teaching something cool. It’s the kind of book you’ll hear kids quoting at the dinner table—and you might even join in.

Okay, hear me out—this book is one giant fart in the best possible way! 💨 I laughed so hard I snorted juice out my nose. Who knew history could be THIS funny? From ancient pharaohs letting it rip to Mozart composing literal toot tunes, Farty Tales is the perfect mix of ridiculous and awesome. I’d totally recommend it to any kid (or adult!) who thinks farts are funny—so basically, everyone. 📚💨😂

Thank you for the ARC. What fantastic images and they are so bright and cheerful. Absolutely loved the pictures. This story was so silly and cute. I even learned about farts over history which I had no clue about.

I'm always going to read books about farts and I'm always going to think they're funny, but in this book, it shows that cultures around the world celebrate the humor in flatulence. It was really interesting seeing how people in different places have celebrated farting! The pictures seem to be computer-generated but they're bright and pretty, and there's laughter on every page.
