Bookroo's summary

Carmen's parents dismiss her claim of a giant fart on her bed, insisting such things don't happen in good families. But when the fart attacks them and the police, Carmen must tackle the chaos alone. Armed with a rose, she faces the bizarre challenge head-on. Can she restore order and prove that even the best families have unexpected surprises? Discover the hilarity and chaos that ensue in this uproarious tale.

From the publisher

Good Families Don’t is Munsch’s funniest book yet, about a risqué subject that is guaranteed to have children–and adults–rolling in the aisles. When Carmen tries to tell her parents that there is a big fart lying on her bed, they don’t believe her. “Good families like ours,” they tell her, “do not have farts.” But when they go upstairs to see, the fart attacks them–as it does the similarly disbelieving police when they arrive. Carmen is left to deal with the situation on her own, which she does with the help of a rose.
