The Fart That Saved Christmas is
subtitled An Adults’ Christmas Tale, and that is exactly what Jacob Morningside
and illustrator Nadja Andrasev have created.
This irreverent picture books tells a story about really goes on at the
North Pole. The reindeer are tired of
carrying Santa’s drunken weight and decide to go on strike on Christmas
Eve. It looks like Christmas will be
ruined until Santa lets one rip and they all fall down laughing. Morningside’s poem is definitely adult
oriented; Andrasev’s illustrations have a whimsical flair, and while nothing is
really dirty, they are sure not for young readers. The Fart
That Save Christmas will give a chuckle to adult readers who can still
enjoy childish humor.
Ricki, thanks for featuring Jacob's picture book during this holiday season.
