"You might want to blame them on
someone else, but that's not cool.
They can make you laugh with friends,
but they can be troublesome, too.
It you take a few deep breaths to get
things settled, they might pass."
You may have never considered just how closely feelings resemble farts. If that is so, you need to read this book. I know Chelsea is going to love it. I also know that it will lead to discussions concerning the truth of the statement that compares the two. 'Feelings are a lot like farts.'
The authors remind readers that the two are a part of our lives. There are times when they stick around for a while, but not too often. With each page turn, there are reminders about the countless ways that they are the same. They can sneak up on you, making your embarrassment evident whether it is a feeling or a fart. They might happen anytime, with a warning or not.
Each scenario offers a touch of humor, while also providing understanding for the fact that both can be a bother. With family, it's not often too big a deal. With friends, it might be a bit of a problem. The appealing and emotional artwork, done mainly in gray scale, shows expressive faces and scenes where feelings and reactions are evident. Occasional use of color adds depth to the emotions felt.
In the end, readers are reminded that:
"It isn't the first and it won't be the last - just like
your farts, your feelings will pass!"
Funny, yet so true ... "
