Goodreads

Fart Boy and Reeky Dog are about superheroes from another planet who come to save Earth from Perfume Lady. This had the makings of a story I could see 1st through 3rd graders loving: superheroes, potty humor, and a big battle, but alas I found the execution lacking. There was very little character development, and the action, while there, was slow and dragging. Even my six-year-old, who loves humor and superheroes, was bored after a bit and never asked to read it again (and he does not forget about the things he enjoys). I would not recommend it for purchase, but, if it did find its way into your collection, I would hand it to 1st to 3rd graders who are looking for humor or superhero stories. This was a one-star read for me.
