Joey Wyatt is also known as Captain Stinkbottom and he has a big problem. He can't go to the bathroom every day, which leads to excessive flatulence. His crew think it is funny, but they soon use it to their advantage to beat the bad guys. Then Elsa Pinkhair arrives. She has a solution for Captain Stinkbottom, but will he listen?
What I Liked: There is a good message here about the importance of getting regular fibre in your diet, but there are a lot of laughs too. I think this book will especially appeal to young boys. It allows them to look at the issue with humor rather than being embarrassed.
What Left Me Wanting More: I would have liked a little more from the illustrations. It also left me wondering, is Joey still Captain Stinkbottom now that his problem has been solved?
Final Verdict: An entertaining book with an important message for kids. It can show them what could happen if they don't take care of their body and eat fibre rich foods. I would recommend it.
Good Points
A funny tale that will appeal to younger kids
A great way to encourage kids to eat more fruit and veg
