About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy mood and needs a low-pressure way to engage with holiday traditions. It is perfect for children who might find the sentimental side of Valentine's Day a bit too serious or for those who simply love a good belly laugh. This story uses lighthearted potty humor to bridge the gap between traditional holiday themes of friendship and the messy, silly reality of being a kid. The book follows a playful monkey who cannot help but express his excitement through some unfortunately timed flatulence. While the primary goal is laughter, the story touches on themes of self-acceptance and the idea that true friends like you for exactly who you are, even your noisy parts. It is an ideal choice for reluctant readers or high-energy preschoolers who need humor to stay focused during storytime.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on bathroom humor. It does not deal with heavy topics, though it briefly touches on the embarrassment of bodily functions in a social setting. The resolution is joyful and inclusive.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or early elementary student who finds the word 'fart' to be the funniest thing in existence. It is also excellent for a child who feels self-conscious about being 'too loud' or 'too much' and needs to see that quirks can be a source of joy rather than shame.
