"Another rollicking good read that will make you laugh out loud! A wonderfully illustrated book that captures the true essence of the Kiwi farming spirit. Uncle Allan is hilarious and his stinky dilemma will have readers in fits." - Sue Hoyle, Upstart magazine
"Once again the Tales from the Farm team have delivered another great Kiwi farm adventure. Poor old Uncle Allan is the quintessential Kiwi bloke with a smelly problem but what's better - sitting around home with cabin fever? Or running away to the farm to help out? Move over Wal Footrot here comes Uncle Allan with his stinky leg!
As always the educational material and depth that we've come to expect from these great Kiwi books is present in the non-fiction end pages. Another homegrown yesteryear classic from Jennifer and Margery. -Fleur Coleman, Senior Children's and Youth Librarian, Mahurangi East Library
"We all know an Uncle Allan, but perhaps not one quite this stinky! Another classic New Zealand farming tale from Jennifer Somervell and Margery Fern." - Nadene Hall, NZ Lifestyle Block
