¿Se tira pedos?: Una guía para niños sobre los gases que expulsan los animales (Álbumes)
No one will be surprised to know that dogs fart, and also cats. Horses fart a lot, and cows even more. But what about chimpanzees? And the cheetahs? What about snakes, dinosaurs, and spiders? In this delightful book about one of the most natural and gross functions of the human body, two scientists tell us not only what animals fart (hint: unicorns don't) but why: what they feed on, how their digestive systems work, in what its secret fart codes consist of and how we humans can study this fascinating area of biology. It is not always easy ...

5 laugh-out-loud stars for this hilariously factual children’s book!
Pee-Yew! Yes - you read that right - this book is about farts. An uncomfortable topic for some, a hilarious topic for most littles. Needless to say, my four and five-year-old LOVED this book! It is scientific and educational, yet fun and silly.
It incorporates a guessing game for children to hypothesize if certain animals and creatures fart or not (not all do!). They have to flip the page to find out the answer with a child-friendly explanation.
The flow of the book is perfectly paced to keep their attention piqued from start to finish. The illustrations are excellent. We highly recommend for any of the fart-obsessed littles in your life!
Thank you to Hachette Book Group for sending me a physical copy to read and review with my children!

An awesome way to discuss a not so awesome subject. Wonderfully illustrated and very informative, this children’s book makes the subject of farts very down to earth and easy for children to learn and understand the process and purpose of the gas animals pass.

Kamēr vieni sajūsmā laiž gāzes par zivju un savvaļas dzīvnieku pētnieka Nika Karuzo un zooloģes Dani Rabojati kopīgi radīto smieklīgi informatīvo grāmatu, kas pilna faktiem, purkšķiem un smiekliem, tikmēr otri piedzīvo īstu reaktīvo hormonu caureju, nespējot rast mierinājuma atbildes uz jautājumu, kāpēc mūsu bērniem būtu jāpiedzīvo šāds smags degradācijas uzplaiksnījums. Jo pirdieni izraisa nomācošu pagrimumu, ziniet.

Dabiski procesi nav tabu, lai viss neaizietu prastā "kaku joku" līmenī, lieliska grāmata. Izglītojoši par dzīvniekiem un par ķermeņa procesiem. Vai dinozauri purkšķina? Vairs ne! :D

"Quem dá puns?" deve ser o melhor livro para desfazer todas as curiosidades que este mundo de gás pode ter para os mais novos. Misturando humor, com imagens bem divertidas e a biologia dos animais que são abordados no livro, este promete ser um livro bem divertido. Não existe melhor forma para aprender ciências do que de forma divertida e este livro é isso mesmo que nos traz. Pronto... Ninguém gosta de falar de puns mas existem aqui partes de Biologia que as crianças têm sempre curiosidade e pode ser uma boa forma de complementar o que esteja a ser falado na escola sobre o sistema digestivo. Fica a dica e a promessa de muitas e boas gargalhadas!

Amizanti, smieklīgi, ļoti šarmanti un tikpat izzinoši. Jā, par purkšķiem, bet patiesībā par to, ko, kā un kāpēc dzīvnieki ēd un kas no tā sanāk.

Brīnišķīga grāmata, bet esmu diezgan dumja to es sapratu. Iesaku!!!!

Intro:
This is a book about farts.
That's right. Farts.
Otherwise known as toots. Rips. Stinkers. Butt burps.
The premise of this book is that digestion causes gas and gas comes out as flatulence and since most animals do digestion, then some of them must fart. Then it introduces a straight-faced animal, starting with a horse, and asks whether or not it farts. The reader then turns the page and if the answer is Yes, the animal is grinning while farting. And that was my favorite part of this story.
This juvenilized version of Does It Fart?: The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence is perfect for kids who have a giant sense of humor and also like science or animals. Or science about animals. Not so perfect for parents who tsk-tsk the word "fart" or who feel that bodily expulsions should never be discussed aloud.

Te lo voy a decir de esta forma: tiene que estar en tu biblioteca.
Es el tipo de libros que no es exclusivo para niños, aunque ese sea el público objetivo.
Con este libro aprendes que echarse un pedo/gas/flato o como lo llames, es absolutamente normal.
Y comprenderás que muchos animales lo hacen y otros no...
Pero sobre todo, sabrás por qué lo hacen y en serio que hay unos datos súper divertidos. 💨💨💨
A Azul le gustó mucho y se aprendió varias cosas. 💯 Es un libro con datos reales, científicos pero ¿sabes qué? Si lo cuentas de la forma correcta, se pasa un momento genial en compañía de l@s niñ@s porque les da mucha risa.
100 % recomendado.

Oh this book is as funny as you think it will be, and as informative as you think it will be! It's actually pretty fascinating! Don't you want to know how one time an airplane carrying 2,000 goats had to land because they set off the fire alarms with their farting and burping?? The real question is who wants to do goat yoga after hearing this???

Sometimes you just know when you've found the book that will be the most popular one on your next round of school visits and I can almost guarantee it will be this one. A silly, informative book about animal farts? Sign most 3rd-5th graders up! This is a quick read with a silly premise but there is good information in here and I'm sure it will be a big hit with its intended audience.

This is a hilarious, interactive book that will get kids thinking about all animals and their farts--not just the ones covered in the book. Obviously the topic will be a hit with kids. Not a week goes by that I don't have to announce to a class (usually after lunch) that "everyone toots, we don't want to laugh and hurt someone's feelings." :)

Not a scratch-and-sniff book, thank goodness! Funny but also clear and informative. Which animals have the stinkiest farts, according to zookeepers? Sea lions. Must be all the fish.

Jūsų vaikas domisi gyvūnų pasauliu? Tomet ši knyga bus jo mėgstamiausia, nes čia susijungs įdomybės apie gyvūnus ir bezdėjimas. Niekad nepamiršiu kaip dukra juokėsi gavus šią knygą dovanų ir ėmė ją vartyti vėl ir vėl. Esmė paprasta - knygos autoriai - zoologas Nick Caruso ir ekologė Dani Rabaiotti- apjungė savo žinias ir parašė patrauklią mokslo populiarinimo knygą vaikams.
Knygoje sutinkame daug skirtingų gyvūnų - nuo silkės iki arklio- ir aiškinamės jų mitybos bei virškinimo ypatumus. Linksmasis elementas, kad viename puslapyje atvaizduojamas kažkoks gyvūnas ir klausiama "ar jis perdžia", o atsakymo nematome, nes jis kitame puslapyje, tad labai smagu vaikui spėlioti, diskutuoti, o tuomet pamatyti teisingą atsakymą bei komentarą apie tam tikro gyvūno mitybą. Čia viena tų knygų, kurią skaityti bus įdomu ir jums ne tik vaikui. Pažadu.
Noriu pagirti labai įdomų priėjimą prie mokslo. Bezdėjimas - tikrai ne ta tema, kuri domina suaugusiuosius, bet vaikams klausimų gali kilti įvairių, o, kaip žinia, kvailų klausimų nebūna. Tad šiuo juokingu kampu mokslininkai tiesiog įtraukia vaikus į gyvosios gamtos pasaulį. Kitas momentas - čia tiek neįtikėtinų įdomių faktų, kad nori nenori sužinoma kažkas naujo ir skatinamas smalsumas.
Ši knyga - puikus įrodymas, kad mokytis, sužinoti kažką naujo gali būti linksma ir įdomu. Skaitosi labai smagiai, faktai verčia iš koto, tad tikrai bent keliems vakarams turėsite daug įdomybių ir juoko kartu su vaiku.

Cute book describing some of the different animals that fart (or not) and they farts they produces. Should be a huge hit among the 8-12 crowd.
August 10, 2019
After this book has been highlighted several times on various social media threads I borrowed it from @stoonlibrary to enjoy it for myself.
This book starts conversations about what children are curious about - farts! It provides an introduction about what a fart is and how and why it happens with different animals. Then it does something brilliant - it lists the animals that it will talk about and asks the reader to predict what animal may or may not fart. It then follows the order with This is a/an - does it fart? And then on the following page it answers the questions and explains some other fun fact farts specific to that animal. There is a wide range of animals including all the different animal classes and will be an instant hit
Will you be adding this book to your classroom/school or public library - abstootely!

Does a horse fart? Does a spider? A whale? An octopus? A unicorn?
I confess that I have not been actively seeking the answers to these questions. Yet Does it Fart? provides them in an interesting and, at times, surprising ways.
Although I've outgrown the fart jokes (at least that is what I keep telling myself), I found this book to be both funny and informative. I also enjoyed the illustrations of various animals grinning cheekily as they let one (or several) slip.
For any Illinoisan readers, Does it Fart? is a nominee for the 2022 Bluestem Award (3-5th grade level books).

Fart humor won't get old and when you mix is with the why's and who's of the farting world for animals, it's a win-win. The book is a STEM-forward humorous nonfiction picture book about whether an animal farts by asking "does a horse fart?" "yes/no" then the why. It seeks out a few animals we don't know much about including one insect that farts as a way to kill their prey!
Visual and fun.

This is a humorously scientific look at farts. If you’re offended about farts and farting, then avoid this book. Other than that, it’s actually interesting. It discusses whether various animals fart or not and why they do or don’t.

Un kā vēl. Patiešām smieklīga un interesanta grāmatiņa par mūsu mazo draugu, citu zvēriņu un pat kukainīšu palaistajām gāzītēm. Bet kā izrādās, tad ne visi purkšķina, taču ir zvēriņi, kas ir jo lieli smirdonīši un jo lieli purkšķinātāji. Jautri lasīt bērnam priekšā, un smieklīgs vakars garantēts.

A fun read but kids can also learn while getting a few good laughs. What can be better than having a good time while learning.

Super cute, really funny and surprisingly informative! I would never have guessed that snakes fart. Lol! I imagine kids would absolutely love this book and there would be lots of giggles.
