Don't Fart In The Pool! by Ben JacksonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
To squeeze or not to squeeze… that is the question!
More often than not children relate themselves with the characters of a good story. In such circumstances, reading fiction can help them to get inspiration from the characters. These stories often portray real life implications through anecdotes, and as such makes it easier for them to understand the complex aspects of life. Moreover, reading these stories at regular intervals can actually help them to develop a positive outlook towards life, which eventually proves beneficial for good character development.
Don't Fart In The Pool is another delightful book by Sam Lawrence and Ben Jackson that young children will get a lot of fun out of. I read it with my grand-kids and we laughed out loud while reading it! They loved not only this funny story, but also the amazing illustrations by Tanya Zeinalova. I thought the text and illustrations worked very well together.
The book description gives a sneak preview: ‘A small mistake could potentially haunt you for years to come, and one little ‘slip’ could be what haunts Stan for the rest of his life! It may have started with an epic taco fiesta to end all taco fiestas but ended with the mother of all disasters for young Stanley. What should have been an uneventful swim at the local swimming pool quickly turned into a world-class environmental disaster!’
Sam and Ben write in a wonderfully simple and imaginative style that will guarantee the attention of young minds. If you ever wanted to bond even more with your children or grandchildren, this would be a lovely story to share with them.
It seems to me that this book was created with a lot of love and joy and it’s clear that the authors really enjoy creating such wonderful stories. Thank you for sharing with us the gift that you have obviously worked so hard to refine. We’ll be looking forward to seeing what’s coming next. A well-deserved five stars from us!
