The Toot Vortex

by Sohrab Rezvan, Tony Pham (Illustrator)

Mommy told her family that toots were not funny. She warned her family that lots of big, stinky toots could make a toot vortex, a very scary and destructive storm of swirling toots.

But Daddy and the rest of the Smith family love to toot! They think it would be funny to make a toot vortex during their weekly pizza night. Was Mommy right about not letting their toots get out of control?

The Toot Vortex is the first book of a new, silly series all about what happens when tooting goes wrong!

Cute

I volunteer at story time for the local library, and the small ones will love this book lol. I'm going to find a sound machine to make it even funnier.

Stinky Good.

This book starts out with the typical statement that this is fictional and not a true story but something tells me that that might not be necessarily true. Ha!

This is an adorable book about a family whose kids and father like to toot, but mom finds it not so funny. (I'm telling you, it could be based on my house!!) Mom keeps saying that if they keep it up that they are going to cause a toot vortex, which does happen! Mom thought that would teach them a lesson, but no, they want to try to get the cortex back again next week!

The story was unique and made me giggle. The illustrations were perfect as well. This book is fun for all ages and I recommend it to put a smile on your face!

I wasn’t a massive fan of this book but I can see it appealing to some children more than others. The plot of the book was fine, it was a bit silly but perfectly aimed at the target age range for the book. I didn’t really like the illustrations either, but you can’t like them all and its just my opinion, others have given it high praise and all the stars but it wasn’t really one for me. It is 3 stars from me for this one.

A hilarious book that takes you on a journey of a family's love for tooting. Will they heed Mommy's warning and avoid a dangerous toot vortex or will they discover the consequences of letting their toots get out of control? Join the Smith family as they navigate the silly world of tooting in this first book of a new series.

Always on the hunt for high interest children's books, I think this one hits the mark. I didn't give it all 5 stars due to the lack of good manners, and no clear moral to the story. It was still funny and engaging.

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway.

A cute short little book about farting. And what child doesn't think farting is hilarious? Lots of laughs and nice illustrations make this a book the young child will enjoy.
I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway for this honest review.

Odd but fun. I think my nephews would enjoy this. It's not something I would personally purchase but then my kids are almost 10 and 13. This is something I would recommend for toddlers to kindergartners. Fun but definitely different.

My nephew loved it! Then again he's not even two. His dad, my brother, gets to hear toot toot excuse me! I LOVE that part.

Funny story about toots. It makes me think of the Nutty Professor scene with Eddie Murphy and the Klumps around the dinner table.

Bought as gift. The recipient said it was funny. Thank you!
