A hilarious rhyming romp exploring one child’s fantasy about her dad having the coolest job ever – the perfect gift for dads this Father's Day!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your dad quit his boring office job to become . . . the Tooth Fairy?

Wouldn’t it be cool if, instead of wearing a plain old shirt and trousers to tap on a computer all day, he zoomed across the sky on his sparkly wings wearing a tutu and tights?

Mark Sperring (author of FATHER CHRISTMAS ON THE NAUGHTY STEP and THE NAUGHTY NAUGHTY BADDIES) has created a riotously funny and fabulous text that is a joy to read aloud, paired perfectly with Matt Hunt's brilliant artwork (illustrator of CHOOSE LLAMAS by Charlie Green and DADDY FARTYPANTS by Emer Stamp).

Perfect for fans of Julia Donaldson.

Daddy Fartypants was a very windy bear. It didn't matter where he was. Or what he was doing ...

Of all the reasons to be embarrassed by your dad, loud and persistent FARTING is the WORST.

But that all changes when Daddy meets his son's lovely (and very windy!) new teacher ...

Laugh your pants off with Daddy Fartypants, the hilariously windy new character from Emer Stamp, creator of the bestselling The Unbelievable Top Secret Diary of Pig!

From the WINNER of the 2019 LOLLIES book awards
