Children will love every quirky page of this ultra-silly story.
It‘s the spooky season and you just received an exclusive invitation to a most unusual event. Delivered straight from the clutches of a wide-eyed bat, you have been invited to a wacky costume party and the festivities are slated to begin at nightfall on October 31st. But you’ve never been to a Halloween Ball quite like this. No, this is no ordinary, candy-coated Halloween bash. This is a Halloween Farty Party and the only rule is to let the farts out any way you can! Sure there will be food, games, and fun, but the highlight of the evening is something everyone is encouraged to do. So get your kids thinking about their favorite costume and be prepared for them to have a blast reading A Halloween Farty Party.
With more G-rated euphemisms for passing gas than you’ve ever heard, the author triumphs over a taboo subject with wit, whimsy, and style. The gorgeous artwork sets the mood with a complementary purple and orange color palette, an inviting party atmosphere, and the happiest bunch of festooned, farting kids around. Breaking wind as a party theme might not sound like everyone’s idea of a good time, but the looks on the characters’ faces as they enjoy their unfiltered flatulent affair will earn a smile from even the most mannerly reader. Adding an educational element, the author incorporates some basic physiology about this natural bodily function that toddlers and preschoolers will find reassuring, that is if adults can make it to the end of the book without mirthful tears preventing them from reading the words.
Parenting can be one of the most rewarding, worthwhile endeavors in life. But let’s be honest, raising kids is a messy business. Children seldom stay within the carefully set boundaries any of us had in life before our homes were filled with the untidy, noisy, joyful chaos of a growing family. It is this beautiful cacophony that Junia Wonders capitalizes on in her bewitching picture book, A Halloween Farty Party. Families are encouraged to embrace a challenging subject with fun and laughter rather than judgment or shame. The read-along rhythmic text is laid out as cleverly as the artsy farts that color the pages. Whether searching for bow-tied pumpkins, choosing the most delectable treats, or parroting their own ghastly gasses, children will love every quirky page of this ultra-silly story. So grab your sense of humor, and possibly a hand-held fan, and you let A Halloween Farty Party dazzle and charm your entire family.
