I mean how could you not giggle at the title and be intrigued by the contents within?!?! Really funny facts about all sorts of flatulence. Easy to read and follow and most importantly entertaining!

I loved being able to flip to different animals and get a detailed description of each on their ability or lack thereof to fart. This book is well researched and appealed to my reading sensibilities. I think it is one I would have in my bathroom to read for guests and also for those times we have a long haul on the porcelain throne. Easy to digest (pun intended).

A super fun quick read. Who isn't secretly (or not so secretly) intrigued by farts? A fun intergenerational read.

This is a book for those who are really into any and all bodily functions, of all bodies. Well written and full of facts I never would have thought of. But obviously a good deal of work went into this and it shows.

Interesting read, very informationl, and well written. My children and I found this book to be very entertaining. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

As the mother of boys who are always interested in farts and find them the funniest things ever, I knew I had to read this book and I’m so glad I did! I learned a lot and had some laughs along the way too.

The authors have researched all kinds of animals from birds, to roly-polys, to camels. It briefly describes the digestive systems of each of these creatures and adds some humor to it as well. Most animals, it appears, fart but some do not.

While having a chuckle here and there, I was amazed at the enormous amount of information that I absorbed along the way.

I think this is a delightful book for young children on up to adults. You never stop learning and you never stop laughing.

This book will be a popular hit in school libraries, I think. Anything that combines the giggle-power of farts with real biological information will be a hit with both the jokesters and the nature-lovers. It has a good glossary at the end, too. I learned lots from this book: what farts and what doesn't; why some farts are more powerful than others; and other assorted facts, like a proverb based on the prodigious stink of mongoose farts. I can't wait to use that proverb and explain its origin!

Three years ago I went and asked a question on Bing. I had a burning question that I needed an answer to. That question was "do ants fart?" Yes, they do! So, as soon as I saw this book on Netgalley, I knew I'd have to read it. I enjoyed it. The sketches at times cracked me up, and I learned a bit about other gassy creatures! Sometimes it grew monotonous, but never for long. Mostly it was fun and interesting. I'd recommend this for the curious and the young. Or maybe for a gassy friend or relative! My thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for letting me read and review.

I will not lie, I was excited about this book. Gastrointestinal movements were a huge topic of conversation at our house when I was growing up and I was curious to learn more about flatulence in the animal world. I had never pondered whether or not all species farted, but was surprised to see which animals don't fart and perhaps more curious, which animals we need more evidence from.

The information here is more scientific than juvenile, and will serve as an all-ages introduction to how different species approach farting. Sadly not as humorous as the title might imply, it's still a great book to hand over to burgeoning zoologists. Crossover appeal is high for this one.

This book was really enjoyable and well written! I loved learning about flatulence! 🌬 This book was fun and informative! My kids loved me telling them the different species that fart. I mean who doesn't laugh about a good fart? If you want to learn about "blowing wind" then I recommend this book! It is fart-tacular!😁

"The African buffalo is among the largest species of ruminants; an adult male can weigh up to 1000 kilograms. African buffalo eat mostly grass, which can be hard to digest and must be consumed in huge quantities to provide enough energy to power such a large animal. Similar to cows, they have four stomach chambers, therefore they produce large quantities of farts."

When you'talking about most animals, the answer to "Does it Fart?" is usually "Yes." Every once in a while, like in the case of the octopus, the answer is "No." Sometimes it's a "Maybe." For instance we just have't done enough scientific research on bat farts. Luckily, zoologist Dani Rabaiotti and environmentalist Nick Caruso are out there looking into this important subject and sharing their discoveries.

In their new book, Does It Fart? The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence, they list 80 animals and answer the question any self respecting eight-year-old wants to know. In quick, one or two page, scientifically detailed chapters they provide answers on which animals fart, how often, and how bad they smell.

There are plenty of surprises in the world of farts. For instance the beaded lacewing has a fart so toxic it can be used to kill its termite prey, or the honey badger that uses its anal scent gland to shoo away bees, leaving their hive (and its delicious honey) unprotected long enough for the badger to have a sweet treat.

Thanks to its dry wit and funny illustrations by Ethan Kocak you'll get plenty of chuckles from Does it Fart? But you'll also learn a few thing that you never knew you wanted to know.

This book is pretty hilarious, at least if you find farts amusing and learning about animal biology! It covers a lot of animals that are pretty obvious (like Rhinos, I mean come on, they are ungulates, of course they rip a load of farts) but spin it to be not just about their digestive track but also about conservation, so that was appreciated. I also learned that birds don't fart...and that was totally new to me, so a science themed fart book where you actually learn something is rather endearing. My only complaint was the inclusion of the unicorn, because why? As much as this was a fart humor book, it was also a book on science and including something about fictitious animals just seemed needlessly silly to me.

Have a kid who hasn't quite gotten into reading yet? Or know an adult who likes science stuff and still giggles when someone says "fart"? This book pretty much has something for everyone across that spectrum and in between.

DOES IT FART? was born from a Twitter conversation between two zoologists about whether or not snakes farted, which led to a lengthy list of #DoesItFart questions being asked. The book compiles a long list of animals and talks about their different farts (in some cases, what foods they eat that cause them to fart; in other cases, how fast their farts are---like with certain fish).

It's a great scientific way to lure children into reading, and provides a really helpful glossary at the back of the book for some of the larger and/or science specific words. It's a great book as a conversation starter. Basically, buy this book for everyone you know. I mean, who wouldn't be interested in learning things like do millipedes fart (yes) or sea cucumbers (no)?

Hilarious, creative, informative and actually very educational. I laughed a lot and learned a lot. The perfect balance of Ha-Ha and Ah-Ha! Accompanying sketches were whimsical and delightful.

*I received a complimentary copy of this story from NetGalley & Hachette Books in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.

Well, I decided to read this for the heck of it. The subtitle alone was enough to interest me just a little, how many definitive guides to animal flatulence can you say you've read? It's a bit of a hoot--for the first ten minutes or so, but after a handful of chapters I was ready to stop reading. The authors cover various animals and insects although there was so much repetition, such as breaking out chimps from gorillas from orangutans, or several varieties of snake or turtle when in each case the answer is still the same--yes.
I had a hard time figuring out who exactly the intended audience is--maybe preteens? Each entry gives an immediate answer to the farting question, followed by a few paragraphs of explanation as to why they fart, whether it's a matter of digestion, protection, or other. There isn't much more in the way of science or explanation. There isn't much more to this to keep the interest in anyone over the age of 13. It's cute, but that's about it. I'd recommend keeping a copy in the bathroom for guests.

Loved this-- was educational, as well as humorous. The illustrations are amazing! Cannot wait to sell this to my customers!

I will not be reviewing this title as I could not download it. I apologize.
