What’s inside...
A fart-tastic adventure through the sky - Eddy and Corky are learning to fly! Eddy the Pug loves napping, eating marshmallows, and exploring with his friend Corky the Corgi. But all those things cause a most unfortunate side-effect for Eddy: if he's excited, frightened or even extra happy, out comes a fart, fast and snappy! Poor Corky suggests they go in search of fresh air, but when the friends encounter some hang gliders on the hillside, Eddy and Corky embark on a trip that takes them a little further from home than they'd planned. At first, things look like they're going to take a turn for the dangerous, but then Eddy's farts save the day in spectacular fashion! A hilarious rhyming picture book that will have kids (and adults!) giggling at Eddy's windy adventures. With delightful illustrations on every page, this fart-filled tale is sure to become a beloved family re-read.
