It's a plain fact: bodily functions and the sounds they make are funny. In Patricelli's latest, a toddler joyfully discovers his ability to, well, toot. He toots like a train, he toots on his trike, he toots in music class. Even better, the little tooter discovers that everyone does it—even mom and dad. What a gas!—Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal
Most people are ticklish (even if they insist otherwise)...and everyone--kids, dogs, dads, even moms--farts. Those are the takeaways from Patricelli's two most recent board books starring her familiar, disarming diaper-clad baby (Yummy Yucky; No No Yes Yes; The Birthday Box). As always, good-natured humor and affection abound in the very simple texts and bold-hued, black-outlined illustrations. Review covers these titles: Tickle and Toot.
