The New York Times bestselling sensation! A scientifically rigorous, fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence that will delight readers of all ages.
Dogs do it. Millipedes do it. Dinosaurs did it. You do it. I do it. Octopuses don’t (and nor do octopi). Spiders might do it: more research is needed. Birds don’t do it, but they could if they wanted to. Herrings do it to communicate with each other.
In 2017 zoologist Dani Rabaiotti’s teenage brother asked her a most teenaged question: Do snakes fart? Stumped, Rabaiotti turned to Twitter. The internet did not disappoint. Her innocent question spawned the hashtag #doesitfart and it spread like a noxious gas. Dozens of noted experts began weighing in on which animals do and don’t fart, and if they do, how much, how often, what it’s made of, what it smells like, and why.
Clearly, the public demands more information on animal farts. Does it Fart? fills that void: a fully authoritative, fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence, covering the habits of 80 animals in more detail than you ever knew you needed.
What do hyena farts smell especially bad? What is a fossa, and does it fart? Why do clams vomit but not fart? And what is a fart, really? Pairing hilarious illustrations with surprisingly detailed scientific explanations, Does it Fart? will allow you to shift the blame onto all kinds of unlikely animals for years to come.

Like the UK edition, but with fewer âUâs Does It Fart breaks into the SciComm world near silently but is destined to have a devastating impact. Unlike many long-winded science tomes written by gasbags that leave you looking like you smell something unpleasant, Does It Fart cuts through the cheesy attempts at science humor leaving a vapor trail behind it. The authors and illustrator weave humor, science fact, and a bit of fiction into a fruity bouquet that amounts to much more than a hill of beans.
GREAT book! My children are obsessed with it! I bought this for my 6 year old who is as girly as can be but is currently obsessed with potty humor. I knew that this would be educational and take a scientific look at animal gut functions, however the look on her face when she read the title was priceless. She immediately broke into a fit of giggles and ran into her big sisters (10) room to read it. She’s had it for a week now and literally carries it around everywhere she goes. Her and her sister sit in the back of the car reading over the…
Fantastic for all ages but particularly for kids Fantastic! I purchased this book for my 4-year-old and 12-year-old sons. They LOVE it! My four year old has learned to read the word “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” thanks to this book and asked to read it at least once a week at bedtime. He has learned about species he had never heard of before and been prompted to ask a lot of great questions. My 12-year-old takes the book, curls up on his bed, and reads it front to back while regularly laughing under his breath and shouting…
