The
Dugan family are in the midst of packing and moving house to Stone Beach, when
their son Ben makes an unexpected new friend in the backyard. A strange object
falls from the clouds and crash lands behind his Dad’s shed; Ben discovers a
butt shaped crater and a big green smelly monster.
After
helping the monster climb out of the crater, the green monster explains he was
simply at home on Planet Let ‘er Rip when he farted and launched into space, ultimately landing in Ben’s backyard.
The
two form a partnership and develop a plan in an attempt for the Fart Monster to
get back home. But not before leaving yellow fart clouds covering the backyard.
The Fart Monster is invisible to Ben’s parents as they are not friends, so Ben
is left to explain his increased farting activity to his mortified parents.
Matt
Stanton’s illustrations only adds to the laughs, the Fart Monster looks exactly
how you would image a fart, especially one that looks set to explode!
The
next instalment of Fart Monster and Me is The
New School.
