The Fart That Broke World Book Day (World Book Day Book 2025)

The Fart that... #1.5

by Stephen Mangan, Anita Mangan (illustrator)

It's World Book Day and school is buzzing with excitement. But something
smells funny... in every classroom, there's a teacher letting
go of a long, loud, ground-shaking, ground-breaking fart. And
when our hero spots a fellow pupil (dressed up almost too convincingly
as an alien) hovering by the teachers' bums, and then discovers
what looks like a spaceship powered by farts behind a hedge,
he's on a mission to stop some unexpected visitors from kicking
up a massive stink!

A really funny book released to celebrate World Book Day 2025. This is a very amusing read for the young - and young at heart! - and if it encourages mainly younger people to buy/borrow/read more books it has to be worth it! Stephen’s writing and sister Anita’s illustrations kept me turning the page and wanting to find out what happens in The Fart That Saved The Universe!

Obviously it’s not aimed at an adult like me but I was interested to read it to see if some of the children I know would like it. It is engaging, fun and full of fart-related humour. I feel that readers aged 8-10 would enjoy it most and that hopefully it would lead them to explore the other, longer books by the same author.

Super, Super Duper Funny and Super Creepy (in a good way)

[Sam Allen · Rating 4 out of 5]

The style of writing takes a bit of getting used to but a pacey, funny quick read.

It has spoilers for the next story but it is also worth reading to understand why it has aliens like about 60 Ronnie aliens and characters like captain America Harry Potter and pipi longstocking captain haddock✂️✏️🖍️😃💮
