Fortune said: "Stephen knows exactly how to make kids laugh. The Fart that Changed the World is wildly funny, endlessly surprising and brilliantly silly. Anita’s artwork is a complete joy: lively and full of personality. Escape the Rooms[the duo's first book together]is one of the breakout children’s fiction debuts of 2021 and we are so thrilled and proud to be continuing our publication adventure with Stephen and Anita." Stephen Mangan commented: “Writing for children is a joy. As a young reader, I loved books that made me laugh, scared and amazed. In The Fart that Changed the World, I wanted to tell a story that shows how the smallest (and, in this case, smelliest) action can have BIG consequences. Once again, I have let my imagination run wild and filled the story with as much humour, drama, danger and excitement as I could cram in – now Anita just has to illustrate it all! I can’t wait for children to enter the kingdom and find out how a fart really can change the world.” A high-energy, laugh-out-loud adventure story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist Anita Mangan.I read this with my 9yo. We were both expecting lots of laughs from this (especially me) as it's another kids book written by a comedian. Frank—a kitchen boy with a big imagination—is drafted in as an emergency butler. As the banquet descends into a food fight and processions catapult out of control, Frank finds himself in an all-out farty farce. Can he save the day? While there’s certainly no shortage of fart-themed books for children, and no sign that the perennial appeal of parps is waning among contemporary readers, actor and comedian Stephen Mangan’s The Fart that Changed the World is a satisfyingly surreal addition to the canon of flatulence-themed fiction.

Home > Anita Mangan added: "Illustrating books written by Stephen is so exciting. We share the same sense of humour and love of the absurd. Like his writing, I make my pictures as funny, weird and wonderful as possible and I am loving illustrating the characters that he has created in The Fart that Changed the World. Humour is such a great way to connect with young readers so I am working in as many details as possible for them to spot!”

One of my main negatives about the story is the language used by the author. Even I didn't know what some of the words meant so I'm not sure how younger children would! And I couldn't even figure out from the rest of the text. Today's the day; King Fabian is hosting all the neighbouring rulers and royals. After months of preparation, everything is running smoothly until King Fabian wakes up, stretches, and farts. His wife is so angry that King Fabian panics and blames the butler, who is dragged away to the dungeons. With the butler gone, Fabian is in trouble. He might wear the crown, but the butler was the brains behind his reign. How will indecisive Fabian pull of this high-pressure event without him?Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - His first children’s book was the bestselling Escape the Rooms.
