Fart Boy and Reeky Dog by Joan Holub Illustrated by Rafael Rosado

Children's Book Reviews

I thought I would share a new children’s book Fart Boy and Reeky Dog by Joan Holub (Author),  Rafael Rosado (Illustrator) all men and boys will want to read. I received a copy of the book for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.

Living in a home with a boy and a man they like to host #farting contest that will leave you running for the Hills. Which is why I knew David and Charlie would enjoy Fart Boy and Reeky Dog but I made them read the book outside because I knew it would lead to a lot of farting and man, oh man I was right.

The story is fun to read and will cause lots of laughter and head shaking as we follow the antics of Fart Boy and his Dog Reeky Dog Charlie and David wanted. Fart Boy and Reeky Dog reminded Charlie of a graphic novel and David of a comic book he read as a child. For me it’s a chapter book that can be read one chapter a day even though it isn’t broken into chapters or all at once.

My family can’t wait to check out other books by Joan Holub (Author) which if we had still been #Homeschooling we would have read in our reading class. This book is for upper elementary student but Teens and adults will also find the story interesting.

About the book:

Get ready for a new kind superhero—a smelly one! An eleven-year-old boy with the power of super smelly farts and his new dog sidekick team up to defeat an evil alien scientist before he takes over the world! From New York Times bestselling author of Mighty Dads.

One day at P.U. Smellamentary, a regular kid named Phartolomew discovers his farts are super strong… strong enough to blow away some bad guys! But that’s not the only thing he discovers! He finds a hidden lab in the school basement that belongs to the nefarious Professor Gravypants, the evil alien scientist who created him. When the professor’s former minion Reeky Dog reveals that the Professor Gravypants is getting ready for world domination, Phartolomew decides to team up with newly-good Reeky Dog and use his fart powers for good.

With his new alien friend Reeky Dog by his side, Phartolomew is on a mission—to stink up Professor Gravypants’s evil plans to take over the world by becoming a new superhero called Fart Boy!
