Cute Toot

Ages 4 to 8

An everyday game of hide-and-seek between two sisters quickly turns into an extraordinary farting contest.

This laugh-out-loud picture book is an explosive ode to the bonds of sisterhood, the time-honored tradition of hide-and-seek, and the hilarious gas we pass.

Everyone knows attics are the best place to play hide-and-seek on a rainy day. That is, unless your stomach is rumbling with a bubbly gas that you absolutely cannot keep in. When baby sister lets one sneaky fart slip out, she betrays her hiding spot and begins the most phenomenal fart fest this attic has ever seen.

Soon this adorable duo has turned ordinary play into a battle of the good, the bad, and the stinky. Young readers will surely revisit Cute Toot time and again, improving their various mouth-fart sounds with each read.
