Caveman Farts: The Story of the First Stinky Fart (The Disgusting Adventures of Milo Snotrocket)

This Book Stinks!
"Caveman Farts - The Story of the First Stinky Fart" by J.B. O'Neil is a book that I can honestly say, stinks. Now that I've gotten that horrible pun out of the way, I'll try to review the book. I'm not particularly enamored of the topic of this book, but it caught my attention when I saw that it offered a free MP3 Audiobook version you can download after you buy the book. Since the book itself was also free, I didn't really see how I could go wrong. Instructions for downloading the Audiobook were inside the book itself, and they were quite easy to follow. It was a new experience for me, listening to an Audiobook while following along in the book on my Kindle, but it was interesting, to say the least... especially since the Audiobook offered an opportunity for appropriate (?) sound effects to be added.I'm somewhat ambivalent about the book, which is just one of several on the same subject, or on boogers, by this author. I seriously doubt I'll ever listen to the Audiobook again. The book offered one very fictitious account of how "farts" came into being, but the scenario described was highly unlikely, although rather creative. I have no doubt pre-adolescent boys in particular will laugh their butts off, before degenerating into an impromptu farting competition. So I guess if you are a pre-adolescent boy, go for it. I wouldn't want to be in a tent with a bunch of those boys, though.Elderly folks, church organists, bank Presidents, High School Cheerleaders, etc., will probably act disgusted, even if they secretly think it's funny. This isn't rocket science. But everybody needs a little levity once in awhile, so if this is something you think would amuse you in the privacy of your own home, behind locked doors, you won't get an argument from me. Just go ahead and get it! Especially if it's still free.

Hillariously Stinky!
LOL! ~Fart Books Don't Get Any Stinkier Than This!!!I was a bit apprehensive about the title, and didn't want to encourage my two boys, Adam, who is 7, and Joshua, 9 as they can be abit of a 'handful'... But I soon realized - if I wanted my sanity, I really had no choice in the matter, after they'd seen the book, and their persistence prevailed!My fears though, were put aside as I soon realized my boys and I both! were in stitches... it is the most fun we've had together in a while, and they now think I'm a really kool mom?, (funny how farts can do that?), but I guess it's all in the imagination of the child, so My Thanks to the Author! Pros: I loved the style and images of the book, but the 'clincher' was the quality of the audio-book included, it was almost 20 minutes and was laugh-out-loud funny all the way through.Cons? none that I can think of...Honestly I think it's great for kids of all ages, even better as a family, a real tension dissipator lol!~J.B. O'Neil, Is The 'James Patterson' of Fart Books!

Illustrations are certainly lacking/just not funny
I had high hopes for this but was a bit disappointed. I was really excited because of the audiobook option, thinking a book aboit farts would be hysterical with great sound effects. I was wrong. My main issue was with the book itself. The illustrations are awful. My 5 yr old (who is very intelligent and reads/is read to every day) lost interest quickly because the story is long and whether I read it or we listened to the audio book, there was too much reading per page and no illustrations to help her understand it all, especially since the audiobook moves so quickly. I also expected better/funnier sound effects since the topic certainly relies on them! Overall, it was just blah. There are definitely better options out there. I would pass on this one..

The story of Cave boy Zug and the belly bubble!
The fart saga continues! Only this time, we go back to learn how it all began. I have three daughters (my son is only two so just starting to understand what we call 'toots' at his age - farts comes later!) and was a little weary of what they might think of the fart books. But how do you not laugh? And Cave Boy Zug. Just his name could make farting seems adorable! lol. The story of Zug thinking the bubble belly couldn't come out is hilarious (and somewhat true, since we all try to keep the belly bubbles inside in public--I mean, let's be honest here!). When he finally let's it out, history is made! Super funny.

This book has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter!
From the moment you pick up this book until you lay it down, you will be convulsed with laughter.Milton Berle should have met author J.B. O'Neil and become instant Facebook friends. Together they make laughter an instant vacation. Laughter mingles with comic humor and instantly you can imagine the reading audience at large laughing together---we cease to be young or old, teacher, employees, bosses, or Neanderthals. We are a single group of human beings with a common thread...You can't deny this book will curiously attract and there's a point at which O'Neil will throw thoughts your way: But where? and When? How is that? To what effect? For answers to these questions and more, you could do no better than downloading this book today!

This book is awesome!
When my daughter brought me my Kindle and asked my to buy this book for her, I was very surprised. She never seemed to like anything like this before, but she was having a slumber party and I said "why not." Those girls had a blast reading the book and laughing about it, so much so that I never thought I'd get them to sleep. Plus, my youngest (who never reads) even picked it up and started reading it on her own. So, I am thinking about buying even more of these books so we can read them together before bed. Thank you J.B. O'Neil, you'll be hearing from me again!

What a super introduction to caveman history
I got this book for my 8 year old nephew. Result: one small boy, engrossed and laughing - what a treat. Now he keeps pestering me to read this bit and look at that picture, all the while giggling.It is such a delight to see children reading again and enjoying it. A couple of £s well spent. Recommended.
