5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical, August 26, 2000

By	tiffinie smith "mommydanz" (Siloam Springs, AR USA) - See all my reviews

My 3 year old and I read constantly. I get really tired of the same old books. When we read this book (my husband , mother in law,son, and self) we all got sick to our stomachs from laughing so hard. I never get tired of it and everybody enjoys it. It is SOOO CREATIVE. I plan to purchase more copies to use as adult gifts! It is full of "potty humor" written in a tasteful manner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, September 19, 1999

By A Customer

I am amazed by the talent of a man who can write this great funny book on a taboo subject, and can also write the poignant "Love You Forever". Robert Munsch can be on my guest list any time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wiping tears from my eyes!, May 15, 1998

By A Customer

As usual, the author has made us look at our foibles humourously. I have purchased multiple copies of this book, and yet never have one to call my own. If you have ever heard your parents say those magic words. "nice families don't..." you will identify! Recommended reading for stuffed shirts, children, adults and farts!

OK, maybe this isn't appropriate subject matter in most (good) families, but it is *really* funny! My daughter Carmen had this book given to her as a gift. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Families Don't
This was a funny book, not one of Munsch best, but full of laughs. There's very few books that actually talk about "Farts", well this is one of them.
