Summary:
Everyone knows attics are the best place to play hide-and-seek on a rainy day. That is, unless your stomach is rumbling with a bubbly gas that you absolutely cannot keep in. When baby sister lets one sneaky fart slip out, she betrays her hiding spot and begins the most phenomenal fart fest this attic has ever seen.

Booklist - 04/01/2024 Two sisters are playing hide-and-seek in an attic, an ideal location for skulking around dusty boxes and discarded furniture. Just one problem: Baby has terrible gas, and there’s no way to be sneaky when your body is being noisy. With a quiet pft, she stealthily lets a toot escape, hoping to go unnoticed, but increasingly larger versions follow. Big Sis follows her ears—and nose—to Baby’s hiding place, and after pouncing on her smelly sibling, she joins in the fragrant fun. A competition ensues, complete with noxious green clouds and silly sound effects, until an amused Momma appears through the haze of gas, offering her own toot in response, and the trio collapses in hysterics. The joyful celebration of bodies and families delightfully focuses on a familiar bodily function as entertainment, not embarrassment, reassuring readers that it’s a normal part of daily life. Eye-catching illustrations capture the exuberant antics in clouds of glowing green and the purple glow of a dim attic. Uproarious onomatopoeia promises a boisterous and outstanding—if odorous—read-aloud. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
