Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Good Families Don't
Robert Munsch · 2026
76/100
👍 Worth It
Robert Munsch's long-running classroom hit delivers the thing it promises with complete commitment — a fart that refuses to be denied by parents who insist good families don't have them. Carmen solving her own problem while the adults remain in denial is a classic Munsch move, and it lands every time with the picture-book crowd. Parents who dislike toilet humor will want to skip it; everyone else will find it a reliable, delighted read-aloud.
