👎 Skip It
It does exactly what it promises — alphabet, animals, farts, rhymes — and kids who loved the first one will laugh through this one too. The problem is that it's entirely one-note: there's no story, no arc, no discovery beyond the reliable punchline, and the humor doesn't grow with the reader. Fine for a giggle at storytime, but thin as a purchase when so many alphabet books offer the same engagement with more to chew on.
