this is such a cute book! it is about a young boy who realizes that he has the ability to fart at will because of a practiced abnormality in his anus. he is a normal guy who just so happens to have a show in specialty farting, and eventually goes to the famous moulin rouge to do his act, and floors everybody. the poem is very well written, and rhymed. some things i didnt think could rhyme together, worked very smoothly.

i thoroughly enjoyed this book. i even read it to my husband, and of course, it was a hit. the pictures are very colorful, and detailed. the rhyming presented a catchy rythym. i liked it very much because it is actually based on a real person, and even talks about the real man at the end of the book.

this book would be good for the study of the human body, i would say it might be used to talk about rudeness, but in this case, it was a show so it doesnt really apply if youre paying to see it:) ( )

Frenchman's amazing backside.
