Everyone Toots

by Joe Rhatigan, O'Kif (Illustrations)

Just like the title says, everyone toots. For the child who just doesn't believe us, here's the book that proves it. Does Dad toot? Yes. Does Mom toot? Of course! How about the president? Indeed. At once silly, mischievous, and wacky while also being informative and perhaps even a tad comforting.

Everyone Toots, keeps it as tasteful as possible while also tickling everyone's funny bone. The rhyming text and incredibly funny illustrations by Alejandro O'Kif will keep kids coming back for another round of unicorns, elephants, big brothers, ballerinas, princesses, astronauts and more passing a little gas.

Grandpa got this one for the kids.... Boy humor all the way. This book is about farting. It’s very funny! Your kids should love it.

I couldn't agree more! The rhyming was cute but felt a little forced sometimes (pun intended?). Would it be totally inappropriate to do a flatulence themed story time?

I had never heard the term "toot" until some out of town family used the term. Now, 1 of my cousins has just had a baby and I thought, wouldn't it be funny cute to throw back this word via a children's book?

Perhaps it would, but certainly not with Everyone Toots. It has no charm or story to raise it above blah vulgarities. Not family friendly or even adult gag funny.

This was pretty funny! But I certainly hope parents and teachers and daycare providers and other adults are teaching kids to please go to the bathroom to do this... Kids will enjoy the story anyway. Illustrations are cute!

Beautifully Illustrated! What a fun, funny book about FARTS! Received as a 1st reads giveaway and enjoyed the delightful drawings. Great easy reading book for a beginning reader, plan to gift my book to a little one.

Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss for a review copy of this book!

If you love books about tooting and rhyming, this book is for you! The pictures are very pretty and very funny! I highly recommend this if you need a good laugh.

Ok, you know this one will be a hit with the kiddie set--"toots" are an automatic source of humor. The rhyming text shows animal characters "tooting" in a wide variety of situations. The illustrations were a little too digital-looking for my taste, but they were well done and funny.

Read this book as an e-book. It was funny and very cute. Rhyming text makes an easy read aloud to youngsters. Expect giggles and laughter when reading this “toot” book.

The illustrations are colorful and I love the green effect for the toots.

Everyone toots is a real hoot!

[Sandi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everyone Toots is a fun, rambunctious book written by Joe Rhatigan. My children would have thoroughly enjoyed the irreverent pictures with page after page of different animals acting like people and tooting.

I must admit I giggled a time or two myself while reading it.
A favorite part of the book for me was the Hedgehog on the school bus that toots and the toot lifts him off the seat.

The pages are filled with gorgeous, happy, bright colors illustrated by Alejandro O-Kif that make this book even more appealing to kids.

I’m not sure all parents will love the story, but I know many that will find it hysterical.
This book is a must to “toot about” to my friends who have kids.

I definitely will be buying this book for my future grandchildren.

I received this book courtesy of MoonDance Press via Edelweiss+ for my honest review.

I give this book 5 stars.
