"My name is Gus.but most people call me ""GAS."" I wish it was because I could run really fast, but it's not.and I don't."" As teachers and parents, we've all been there. Someone farts and a variety of sniggers, giggles and negative comments ensue. But did you know that everyone and every living thing passes wind (except jelly fish and coral sponges)? If it's so natural and so common, why do we struggle with teaching children how to respond appropriately when it happens? Award-winning author Julia Cook will have children and adults in stitches as you read the hilarious tale of Gus, the student who passes wind in class. Join Gus as he and his classmates learn the brief biology lesson behind why we all fart and the right and wrong way to handle it when it happens in public."
