Who knew farting could bring so many achievements to a person? This is the story of Peter Pooter, who farted himself to glory (pun intended). Peter discovered that eating beans could produce explosive farts and he made sure he used these smelly farts to his advantage. He won every race he was in because nobody could compete with the smell of his farts. And like Oliver Twist, who asked for more, Peter's victories and awards in those races did not satisfy him. He wanted to fart his way into space! Would this be a game changer for Peter and give him the satisfaction he so badly craved? Find out in the comical children's book Farting Peter Pooter and His Self-Propelled Tooter Scooter, written by Steve Kuhn and illustrated by Nenod Taskov.
The story of Peter Pooter and his wonder-working farts is hilariously told. One thing I can assure you about Farting Peter Pooter and His Self-Propelled Tooter Scooter is that you will laugh and laugh. The silly and hilarious nature of the book makes it even more funny. The illustrations tell a beautiful story paired with the writing. Being a children's book, it contains words that can improve the vocabulary of young readers. I love the element of rhyme in each paragraph. Above all, there is a subtle lesson about the consequences of greed that I believe every child will learn after reading this book, despite its amusing nature. I recommend it to children between the ages of 2 and 5.
