Do You Find This Offensive?


Do you find this offensive?
Is farting an appropriate subject matter for children’s books?  What are your thoughts?
Does this have more appeal for boys versus girls? 
I, (Johnnie Lunchpail) am playing with the text for a story, currently titled “There’s Poo On Shoe.”  Am I crossing the line of good versus poor taste?  Or will kids enjoy reading a “giggle” story?  Would this encourage boys to read more?  Fart more?  Or perhaps there is no gender bias at all.
There is a child in each of us… I know for sure there is an adolescent boy that lurks in my psyche – I still giggle at farting?
Let me know your thoughts….The Gas We Pass




Would “There’s Poo On My Shoe” be crossing the line of taste and acceptability to readers and Moms and Dads?

  1. I think you know the answer to this, kids love this subject matter. Check out Pooh! Is That You, Bertie?
