The Most Serious Fart is a seriously fun children's illustrated picture book about not taking ourselves so seriously.

Meet Siegfried, a most serious fart who is sick and tired of farts being a laughing matter. When he sets out on a most serious mission to change the fart as we know it, he ends up learning to embrace his fartness and the fun and friendship that come with it. The book also includes over 300 hidden butts from legendary Highlights Hidden Pictures illustrator, Chuck Dillon.

'Hilarious and thought-provoking, with wonderful illustrations. I can't believe I'm saying this, but these farts are clever, funny, and gorgeous.' - Stuart Gibbs, author of New York Times bestselling series: Spy School, FunJungle, Charlie Thorne, Moon Base Alpha, and The Last Musketeer.

'This book is a real gas!' - Amy Sedaris

'I would've laughed myself silly as a kid reading this book. Also, full disclosure, I laughed myself silly as a grownup reading this book. A work of fart!' - Brad Montague, creator of the hit web series Kid President, author of Becoming Better Grownups, and the New York Times bestsellers Kid President's Guide to Being Awesome and The Circles All Around Us.
