Farts are funny. There’s just no way to get around it. No matter who you are, or what your background is, chances are you have found some kind of fart, or something even sounding like a fart, pretty darn funny! Children know this, and fathers know this because their children keep reminding them of it all the time. There is no way to get more joy out of children with less work!

This is an amazing fun book for readers of all ages. I read it with my grand kids and they loved not only the story, but ...more

The Day My Fart Followed Me to the Dentist is the fifth book in the My Little Fart series and is as cute and funny as the title! Little Fart is fart personified and is Timmy’s best friend. They go everywhere together and talk about everything, just like real best friends! One day, Timmy’s tooth starts to hurt and he needs to go to the dentist to get it pulled. Timmy consoles Little Fart and tells him not to worry. Once the dentist removed Timmy’s tooth, Timmy immediately felt better!

Once the dentist removed Timmy’s tooth, Timmy immediately felt better! On top of that, Timmy got to keep the tooth to give to the Tooth Fairy! Timmy and Little Fart imagine what the wonderful and beautiful Tooth Fairy is like and Timmy explains to Little Fart that he thinks the Tooth Fairy uses all the teeth to build Tooth Fairy Land, which sounds amazing! I want to go visit Tooth Fairy Land!

I highly recommend this book for several reasons. As stated above, farts are funny. Everyone farts and everyone has to deal with other people’s farts sometimes. One of the funniest parts (I think) of the story is where Timmy is speaking with his mom and she asks, “Hmm, can you smell that?” and Timmy responds, “Nope. Must be you!” This cracked me up! Reminds me of my son who likes to say, “You smelt it, you dealt it!” Hahaha! I’m sure lots of you can relate.

Another reason this book is so wonderful is because it shows that dentists are nice, helpful and really, not scary! Most kids (and lots of adults, too) are afraid to go to the dentist. This story shows that you needn’t be afraid and supports the underlying message that it is important to take care of your teeth.

Even more important is that this book demonstrates the power of imagination. Imagination is where creativity and ingenuity begin for child development and is connected to their intellectual development. By creating Little Fart, Timmy uses his imagination and is able to entertain himself and comfort himself. He also learns a lot by explaining things to Little Fart, thus reinforcing and understanding new ideas and concepts himself.

Finally, I would be remiss in not mentioning how beautiful and colorful the illustrations are. Every page captures the reader’s attention.
