This book was so light hearted and fun. I great book for kids who have trouble with feelings. Definitely a book for any psychologist office as a way of getting kids to open up and have a laugh. I will definitely put this in a free little library

This audiobook is a great listen for children who might worry that it's not ok to have feelings....or farts. The book makes both seem like a natural and normal part of being human and completely dissipates any shame or embarrassment for having either one! I loved all of the comparisons and this would make a great addition to a social emotional support classroom library!

I never thought of this correlation prior to reading this book,but feelings really are like farts! This book became an instant new favorite picture book that I know my students will both laugh about and understand the underlying comparison. It makes feelings seem like a normal thing instead of intimidating or embarrassing.
(Thanks to the publisher for an advanced audio copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. )

What a great way to showcase feelings in an understandable way for the younger audience, like a fart!
The similarities shown throughout the book are ones that I as an adult understand, but also that my four year old could grasp. She was nodding along and smiled at parts.
That is really what is great about this book, getting the information across (that holding feelings in isn't the best), and ways to get them out (in private, or with people you trust).
Will definitely come back to this book again and again!

💨 Book Review 💨

📖 Feelings Are Like Farts by Christopher Willard, PsyD & Tara Wosiski
🎧 Narrated by Tim Campbell

Bathroom humor for the win! This book is silly in the best way while delivering an important reminder—feelings, like farts, should be let out. Perfect for kids (and kids at heart), it uses humor to normalize emotions and self-expression.

The audio version is a treat, complete with a full soundtrack, sound effects, and all! If you enjoy playful books with a meaningful message, this one is worth a listen.

A huge thank you to the author, McMillan Audio, and NetGalley for the advance audiobook copy in exchange for my honest review!

ADORABLE! Such a great way to describe feelings. As both a psych and a mom - I loved it and would recommend. Also, love when a children’s book is just as good when it’s an audio book! The narration was great.

This book is a must-have for elementary libraries. It offers a light-hearted explanation of feelings. The comparison to farts will tickle children's funny bones while at the same time allowing them to explore the idea of the transience of feelings. Children will also learn, that feelings are universal--everyone has them.

The matter of fact explanation will make sense to children, and make it easier for adults to explain. As one who spent time with elementary school students and has had 'serious' discussions of farts and their universality, I believe this book is a valuable addition to collections.

This audiobook is a true delight for children, seamlessly blending a well-crafted story with engaging background sounds that add an extra layer of excitement. The sound effects really bring the narrative to life, keeping young listeners both intrigued and entertained from start to finish.
It's become a wonderful addition to our morning routine, striking the perfect balance between laughter and lighthearted fun. The humor is especially effective at sparking giggles and smiles—something every parent can appreciate! What’s more, it offers a chance to pause and bring a positive, joyful vibe to any part of the day, all while gently focusing on feelings and promoting the idea that emotions are nothing to be ashamed of.
At just the right length, this audiobook is short enough to keep kids engaged, making it a perfect way to add a bit of fun and positivity to the day.

Thank you for the advanced audiobook. This was a super cute little book. I listened with my niece and nephew and they enjoyed it.

This was such a unique perspective on teaching kids... And adults.. about feelings! I love the comparison between the two completely different things! It definitely isn't for 5 year olds at 7am though because my daughter didn't listen whatsoever.

Feelings Are Like Farts is an absolute hit in our household! My kids thought it was hilarious, and I loved how it delivered such an important message in a way that’s both relatable and entertaining.

The audiobook strikes the perfect balance between humor and heart, using the universal (and endlessly funny) topic of farts to teach kids about accepting their emotions. The comparisons are clever, the narration is engaging, and the overall tone is warm and approachable. It’s a refreshing take on emotional regulation that encourages kids to embrace their feelings without shame—just like they should with their farts!

My kids were giggling nonstop, but they also walked away understanding that emotions (even the tricky ones) are a natural part of life. This audiobook is equal parts funny and educational, and I highly recommend it for families looking for a lighthearted way to talk about feelings.

Five stars for the laughs and the lessons!

The narrator was great. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

This story was adorable. I listened with my 3 & 5 year old and they LOVED the story. It really touches on dealing with your feelings even in the inconvenient moments. Definitely good for littles while they grow.

Feelings Are Like Farts is a children's book about feelings and how we all feel them, despite how they may be inconvenient at times. The author uses flatulence to draw the attention of the target audience, giving them analogies that they will understand.

As this review is regarding the audiobook, narrator Tim Campbell strikes the right tone in his delivery. The only issue that I have with the audiobook is that the lesson the author is trying to impart might get lost without the visual experience. Kids ages 4-8 are not as likely to remember what they hear, but rather what they see. Parents or educators will have to reinforce the lesson after the book's conclusion.

That being said, Feelings Are Like Farts may seem silly or childish, but it actually has a good message. I would recommend the picture book over the audio version, but it would be great in either format.

Disclaimer: This audiobook was given to me in advance of its release for review purposes. The decision to review the book was entirely my own.

This was a really adorable read. It has good suggestions on how to proactively deal with emotions and take responsibility for them. Great book for children and adults.

A fun way to normalize different feelings and, well, some fart humor is always a good time. 10/10 would read to a kid in my life.

Feelings and farts really do have a lot in common! I enjoyed how these were contrasted, and the humor is sure to resonate with children. This review focuses on the audiobook, and I felt that the audio format fell a bit flat. The visuals are essential to truly bring the story to life. In particular, the different emotions and types of farts don't come through clearly in the audio version. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the print version when it's released.

I don’t usually pick up potty humour/ fart books but this one intrigued me. It was pretty spot on, and I agreed with most of it. I think kids will enjoy it.

A cute and silly book about understanding and accepting your feelings. I think the comparison to farts keeps it silly and will hold kids' attention, so they can absorb a helpful message.

A cute link between feelings and what can often be perceived as an embarrassing bodily function. Better to let them out than hold them in.
