AND MORE From #1 Bestselling Children's Book Author J.B. O'Neil Ninja Farts. Here's what people have to "Okay! I gotta tell you. I have two grandsons -- one is 11 and the other is 6. Both are going to absolutely go bonkers over this book. Heck, I think even the girls will get a kick out of it." "The most hilarious book in the whole world...I gave it a five star rating because of the writer's sense of humor. It could make me laugh till the cows come home." "I know my kids will love this, and the audio effects would make it that much more fun for them." Your copy of "Ninja Farts" also includes a FREE audiobook look inside for more information.
Even the best jokes pale with over-repetition. I tried to interest my grandchildren's parents (on the other side of the planet from me) in the book. My hope was they would read it to the young ones and give it a more enthusiastic response than I could.
All four of the grandkids delight in anything that makes fun of bodily functions. But their parents couldn't muster the enthusiasm for this slight book. Without the constant thread of fart references, the plot and characters fell flat. So I have only the parents' lack of interest and my own response to go by.
J.B. O'Neil writes well enough, and shows enough imagination, to write a better book than this. I'm reminded of my first year as a school librarian in a K-3 school in a lower-income neighborhood. The parents held an annual book sale, ordering books from a company that provided colorful but bland fare at cheap prices. I was nearly tarred and feathered when I insisted on choosing high-quality books at double the price. The books flew off the sale tables and netted more than twice the revenue of the year before. Why? Because 24 classes of little ones came to the library every week and were introduced to fabulous books with engrossing stories.
Children love to laugh, and books with a whiff of naughty delight them. But they deserve better than this, and I'm convinced the author can deliver it.
My son made me read this because “it’s very humorous.” He said it’s 4/5 stars because the chapters are too short. I would agree with his criticism.
I’m giving two stars due to the artist’s gender representation. There are only three female characters illustrated in this book but one is the mom with huge lips and breasts and one of the others is a classmate with huge lips and butt. Despite being representative of kid-style line drawings of people, it over sexualized the few female characters represented.
I don’t know how Ninja Farts: Silent But Deadly by J.B. O’Neil got onto my Kindle. I suspect my ten-year old grandson had something to do with it. But there it was. And it was short. So, I read it.
It is the third in a series of twelve books that chronicle the “Disgusting Adventures of Milo Snotrocket.” In this episode Milo is cowed by Bobby Buttz-Cratcher, the school bully. Milo summons up his courage, dons his ninja suit, and…… Well, I don’t want to spoil it for you. You’ll have to read it yourself. It turns out that Bobby is just an ordinary kid with his own insecurities playing the role of bully to hide his fears and uncertainties. He joins Milo and together they use farts for the benefit of all mankind.
Ninja Farts is disgusting, inappropriate, rude, and crude, but it reinforces the universal truism that flatulence is always funny.
J.B. O’Neil has also written a book about boogers.
Personally...kinda found the book dull and to be a cheap imitation knock off of Dav Pikey’s work (Dog man, Captain Underpants, etc)
However, the kid I bought it for really seemed to enjoy the zany potty humor. So, if you have a kid that likes to read, say captain underpants, they might enjoy this book. I will give the book credit for pointing out that bullies are often kids who are acting out because they are scared or afraid themselves.
Only other issue with the book is the cover image quality appears poor.
