Publisher Description
Fart is excited!
He's desperate to make friends and have fun. But no one likes a fart. Not even a fart with a heart.
Too smelly. Too embarrassing. Too gross.
This enhanced ebook edition of No One Likes A Fart is narrated by the author, Zoë Foster Blake, with supporting voices from Hamish Blake (AKA Tooty McFluffson).
Zoë has written lots of grown-up books, none of which mention a single fart. She is the mother of two little people and a cat with a permanently cranky face. She wants it known that despite writing this book, she still doesn't like farts, even if her husband and son refuse to acknowledge or respect this.
'Just like a powerful, unidentified fart, Foster Blake’s book has everyone talking.' MamaMia
'Who would have thought a story about farts and burps could be so heartwarming?' Sunday Telegraph
'A beautifully written book that will have you in hysterics.' James Wright, Impulse Garner
'Young children just beginning to read will love this book - especially if that means grabbing any opprtunity they can to say the word "fart"!' Daisy Chein, Melbourne's Child

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Making friends isn't always easy. From the moment poor Fart slips "silently, invisibly" into the world, he's excited to make friends. There's just one problem: he quite literally stinks. As the green cloud sails through the air, from a home ("Da-ad! That smells so gross!") to a world filled with "sweet fragrances" (garbage, smog), his overtures of friendship flop ("Someone's been cooking air biscuits"). Finally, Fart shamefacedly realizes that he is the stench everyone has been complaining about. Embarrassed and despondent, he drifts into an alley, where he encounters his favorite garbage smells and another personified bodily emission, also down in the dumps, who becomes his gaseous soulmate. Blake fully exploits her wacky premise (offering a true wealth of fart epithets) and, alongside contemporary illustrations by Nickel, shows that even a little fart can drum up big affection. Ages 3 7.
