GREATEST BOOK EVER!

if you have a child who is 3-6 BUY this book. the message is: it's perfectly fine, if not fabulous, to be different. It is the message that everyone needs to hear. It is a great message for boys and girls alike and the book is funny and every little kid loves to hear an adult read the word "fart". It's so much better than Walter the Farting Dog and you still get the fart funny factor. It's just that the message here is about self assurance and feeling good about who you are/or trying to make others feel good about who they are.

Wonderful Resource for Teaching Tolerance

This story is extremely amusing and humourous! The little girl in the story is born into a narrow valley surrounded by narrow mountains, with a population of people (of course)that are very narrow-minded! The hospital staff finds this little girl is very different- she flatulates butterflies. Her parents don't want everyone to know how different their little girl is, so when she goes off to school and a little boy expresses his feelings to her- she farts the hugest butterfly that flies up and pushes the mountains apart- and every one is relieved and can now live wide and open. I laughed so much when I read this story, I almost cried!! My children absolutely love hearing it over and over and over again!
