Harvel Goes to the Farm

By John Pate

Book Overview

John Pate's breathtakingly raucous children's picture book, Harvel Goes to the Farm, is irreverent and wise. In a similar vein to Everyone Poops and The Gas We Pass, Pate shares the utterly fabulous, wildly original tale of Harvel, a moose readers meet while on his way to visit his aunt and uncle in Nebraska. While Harvel is completely loveable, he has a slight problem. It's his diet, which, ultimately, gives him gas-the sort of gas that can clear a room, a trailer, and a cornfield, but in the end saves the day. Once he arrives at the family farm, his extraordinary flatulence comes in handy, which not only wins readers hearts and imaginations, but also helps even the youngest readers identify with the fact that often what embarrasses them most is natural and nothing is as bad as it seems. And rest assured, while everyone poops and everyone passes gas-no one toots a poot like Harvel the Moose.
