Good Families Don't

Summary: Wiping tears from my eyes!
Review: 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!

Summary: Amazing!
Review: 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!

Summary: OK, I hate to be a stick in the mud, but......
Review: I bought this book because I love Robert Munsch's book I Love You Forever. I knew what I was ordering so it's my own fault, but I can't use this book. It's stuck up in my closet and I've never given it to the kids. I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old boy, and I have enough trouble with them talking about things that I'd rather they didn't, so I don't know why I ordered this book. I know they'd think it was funny, but the last thing I really want to do is get them talking about farts all day. I'm sorry, if your kids are more mature I'm sure it would be fine for them. But it definitly wasn't for my family.

Review: i bought this for my 3 yr old granddaughter and she thought it was the funniest book i ever read to her. the poor book looks pretty shabby now from all the trips that book has gone on. she takes it everywhere she goes. she did take it to preschool not sure how they reacted towards it.

Summary: Source of the story:
Review: I was driving three seven year olds home from swimming lessons. They spent the whole time telling fart jokes. I couldn't believe it. Then I thought, "Wait - these are the people I write for!" The next day I made up, for a grade 4, a fart story using the same distancing as in gestalt therapy. They fell of their chairs and rolled on the floor. Nobody wanted to publish it. It started telling it at teachers conventions as an example of "neat stories that would never see print"

Summary: Hysterical
Review: 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!

Summary: Great book for a reluctant reader!
Review: My daughter was in second grade and having difficulty reading. Her teacher suggested she read aloud, being a perfectionist this solution was less than suitable. I brought home this book and told her that she must read it to her father. She read the first page saw the "f" word and started to giggle. It broke the ice. Although the book didn't solve her reading problems, after reading it she was more willing to give other books a chance.

Summary: The book is wonderful for any adult gas-passer in your life!
Review: My sister (a teacher) purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my husband (a gas-passer supreme)! We read it aloud with all the family present and laughed until we cried. It is now in our 17-month old son's book collection, and we still laugh every time we read it!

Review: 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.
