All 5 Stars!
"Stinky Fumes King of the Wild is one of the most adorable books I have ever read. I highly recommend it to anyone with children. A wonderful children’s book teaching how being different can be a gift. This is a wonderful book that celebrates the difference in us all! I think this is an important message to children, to be accepting of others differences and to respect those differences." ~Shauna

"This is a really cute and fun story to read, and is a book I think that can be used not only by parents for a good night book, but as a teaching tool for parents and teachers to read to slightly older kids to teach them about foster, adoptive families and/or about how being different doesn't (mean) bad things, or that you are not “you” if you are different. That it is OK to be different than what is expected of you." ~Trinton

"I thought a book with a silly name like Stinky Fumes would be a silly book but not so! It’s actually quite poignant and deep and got me thinking. So as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover! What an invaluable lesson to teach our children! What sets us apart doesn't actually make us bad. It makes us unique and special and whatever abilities we have that no one else possesses can be amazing!

"Stinky Fumes is a great life lesson for kids and I shared this book with my four and five year olds. While reading them a book on the Kindle means they don’t get a picture every page, I actually found them listening and paying attention to the words more because of the lack of pictures. Who knew! They both struggle with things about themselves that are different and I’ll remember (remind) them of Pepper the skunk when they are feeling insecure and need their differences championed!" ~IE Mommy

"The book moves rapidly, and keeps you involved throughout, you will experience a wide array of emotions and will find yourself rooting for Pepper and being surprised by his two rabbit friends Tiger and Hopper.

This is a fun book, with a few lessons and some laughs as well." ~Tamirisc

"This story is filled with important lessons that any family would enjoy. I read this book with my two daughters and they really enjoyed the story. Pepper, Tiger, and Hopper team up on a crazy and wild adventure and demonstrate how being yourself can be the only way!!!"~Wael

Happy New Year & Some Reviews

Happy New Year!

I greatly appreciate all my readers and reviewers.  I thought today I would give you a smattering of what reviewers have been saying about my book.

Thank you to them all!

"The author of this fine little book is new to this reader and this may be a first published book. If so the success of this book that combines fantasy, humor, adventure, scary tales, and rules of conduct by Mahamad Ali ElFakir suggests that we have another fine writer in the genre of entertaining children's book that carry strong messages." ~Grady Harp.

"The author does a great job focusing on a topic most children find themselves in. Not listening to their parents and doing as they are told, as well as lying. This is a problem majority of parents, at one time or another, find themselves in. The author creates a story to show what might possibly happen when you don't listen to your parents and follow the rules. There are consequences to their actions, and though this story embellishes a lot, especially with a bubble coming out of someone's booty and carrying them away, the message is loud and clear." ~Children's Book Reviewer

"This was a pretty cute little story. It teaches kids a very valuable lesson about lying and following the rules. Even though it teaches a lesson, the story is a lot of fun and will have children wanting to read it. The illustrations were a lot of fun as well. I know a few kids who could learn a lesson or two about lying. If only the magical blueberry bubble gum world was real. " ~Schneider Mommy

"There are lessons in this book to be learned about deceit, lies and disobeying your parents. Kids will like this story about a boy named Max that has a blueberry bubble gum bubble blow out the rear of his pajamas sending him flying to an adventure in Blueberry Bubble Gum World where he sees strange creatures. I know for a fact kids will enjoy the book because my young grandkids did crack-up over the story. No pun intended!" ~It's Time To Read MawMaw
