Summary: Two Dirty Thumbs Up!
Review: Finally, a book I don't mind reading to my boys over and over again. Its entertaining story is just as spellbinding to my 5 year old as it is to my 8 year old, and every detail of the story is beautifully captured in full-page illustrations. This is a family favorite that will be passed down to the next generation. I highly recommend it.

Summary: If you love dirt, you'll love Fister Farnello!
Review: Fister Farnello is a great example of a child that simply cannot understand why anyone would ever want much less need to take a bath. Fister is a very wild boy who has a sincere passion for dirt. If you are the parent of a Fister you'll love this book! Dirt Boy is a great way to introduce children, in a fun way, to the need for bathing. The illustrations are wonderful and show Fister in his full dirt covered glory. This book is easy to read and would work well with younger children (especially those who tend to run from the bathtub).

Summary: "Dirt Boy"
Review: Have you ever wondered how to convince some little boys that they need a bath? "Dirt Boy" is the answer. This is an excellent book to teach the concept of cleanliness. The use of sensory words makes the reader able to smell, see, and feel the impact of not bathing. As a classroom teacher, I see many ways to intergrate other subjects into a literature lesson. For example, a study of the senses, study of adjectives, and a math lesson on the number of cleaning products necessary to get Fister clean.

Summary: Dirt Boy, my favorite
Review: It's my favorite book, especially when the nest is on Fister's head. I like when Dirt Boy gets washed. When Dirt Boy sleeps, he finds out he was sleeping in the giant's belly button. It makes me laugh.

Summary: I love DIRT BOY
Review: My brother and I make our mom read this book every night. My favorite part is when the birds make a nest in Fister's hair, and then they say PU! I like the giant, Dirt Man, too. We laugh when Fister's mom squirts him with the hose and says Shoo shoo. She thinks he is a monster.

Summary: 3 1//2* Stronger Than Dirt
Review: The delightfully gross tale of Finster Farnello-who revels in dirt-and his mother who calls him "you smelly-stinky-mucky-gritty-grimy-grubby-little-dirt-boy." (This book can be fun to read.) In a slightly disturbing twist, Finster runs away from home and meets Dirt Man, who hasn't taken a bath in 1,000 years. Finster copies the giant until his body grows weeds, moss, and slime. Unfortunately, his filth is appetizing to the Giant! There is a happy ending, as Finster discovers that while he "still likes to get dirty... he also likes to get clean." 30 pages, and vivid pictures constructed with such media as gouache, acrylic, crackle medium, modeling paste, sponges, fingers, old toothbrushes, and watercolor. The plot could have been more clever, but, judging by the other reviews here, kids just eat this one up!
