Mermaids Don't Fart

Can Eel get a mermaid to help save his friend? What will happen if a mermaid dives that deep? ... and what's that smell?

Mermaids Don't Fart is a laugh-out-loud picture book for joke-lovers, nature-lovers and mermaid fans of all ages. This rhyming read-aloud for families who like to laugh is also a great motivational early reader for emerging readers and reluctant readers.

Along with themes of friendship, service, and empathy, readers learn about buoyancy (Bubbles?! What bubbles? They DON'T fart!) and about symbiotic relationships on the reef.

Eel protects Shrimp from potential predators. Shrimp protects Eel from damaging parasites. They live in awe of the Mermaid Scout Troop, who help their fellow sea creatures and protect the reef from environmental dangers. These unlikely best friends keep each other on their toes and tail fins with mermaid jokes.

Jokester Eel takes the mermaid jokes too far and his fart joke upsets all-too-serious Shrimp!

But all laughing aside, do mermaids actually poot, toot, or pass gas? Read and find out! But . . .
