It All Began with a Bean
By Katie McKy

    You know what it’s like. Your tummy feels too full. It might even hurt a little. Then your belly starts to rumble. There’s only one way to feel better, right? Just let it rip.

   Now, what do you think would happen in your town if every single person and every single animal--even the fish--farted at the same time? What did they eat to cause this stench? How do you think the stinky smell would go away?

    It All Began with a Bean gives the very imaginative and really funny answers.

    Age appropriate language about one of children’s favorite subjects just might encourage youngsters to read on their own. Bright, comical illustrations by Tracy Hill printed on quality glossy pages will make this book a children’s delight. I couldn’t wait to share It All Began with a Bean with my children. We dare any child (or parent) to keep a straight face!
