A charming and hilarious take on sibling dynamics that plays against gender expectations and has huge kid appeal.

Additional text

"The text is clever enough, featuring a cheekily informative if Eurocentric afterword. The endlessly entertaining theme of flatulence, a satisfying portrayal of an imperious friend getting her just deserts (and desserts?), and the delightfully indelicate alliteration of the titular tooting should invite a wide audience." —Kirkus Reviews
