Stella the Fire Farting Dragon
By J. Aday Kennedy
Published by Guardian Angel Publishing

As soon as I heard the title of this book from Aday I knew my boys would love it!

Stella has to get ready for a talent contest and every time her nerves take hold.. well, she farts fire and all better take cover. Bagpipes aren’t her forte, so she tries doing a flying skit and her friend has her practice until she is no longer nervous.

The day of the talent show Stella is doing great, eats a blueberry muffin for breakfast and is off to the show after Allen brushes away her blueberry stained teeth and helps to get her ready. Let’s just say Stella got a bit nervous on her talent presentation, but the blueberries redeemed her! The crowd thought she planned it.

A funny story about friendship and believing in yourself. Aday takes a serious case of the nerves and puts a funny spin on it that will be a joy to young boys and girls alike.. though I am guessing boys really will be the ones laughing.

Aday was kind enough to send us a whoopee cushion with Stella on it, and my boys were excited to play along with the story.

What I love about Guardian Angel Publishing and the authors there are the defined morals to the stories they publish. It has been a blessing to review books with several of the authors there.
