A parent would reach for this book when their child enters the inevitable stage of finding bodily functions hilarious, or when they need to navigate the awkwardness of 'potty talk' with a sense of humor rather than shame. It follows Phineas, a bunny who simply cannot stop giggling at his own flatulence, much to the initial chagrin of those around him. The book uses lighthearted rhymes and playful illustrations to explore the reality of digestive health.
