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!

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.

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.

I was curious about this title, but after listening to it, I'm anxious to share it with my husband and kids. Anything with "farts" in the title will hold their attention, but I thought the way the authors explained feelings as related to flatulence actually made a lot of sense and will keep kids (and husbands) engaged and listening. The audiobook was well done.

This book is more than accurate. It's downright insightful, and I believe it takes two hard to talk about subjects and brings them together in a way that will give access and language to many children and youth. If teachers and parents are willing to go there, we will find it an invaluable resource.

This high-quality audiobook production has a full soundtrack with fart sounds, which plays underneath the narration of Tim Campbell. The music is instrumental and mostly happy sounding if a bit cartoonish. Honestly, Tim's narration is what sells this hilarious and very short comparison. He manages to deliver quite funny lines using an ironically serious but understanding voice. He has a few chuckles, too.

There isn't really much of a story involved. This is also very true. I admit that I had never thought of the similarities between feelings and farts, but the author made their case. I fully agree. I laughed through this entire short story. This is short, cute, and feels tailored for small people full of big emotions. After all, you can't hold feelings or farts in forever, as the book wisely points out.

Thank you to Christopher Willard, Tara Wosiski, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.

It's very funny and entertaining! I never gave it much thought, but the title is spot on! Once this is available, I will buy a copy for each set of grandkids.
