Several Reviews:

An original and simply hilarious picture book! (Midwest Book review, 2009)
Dezzer is an ordinary baby with extraordinary flatulence that is the bane and embarrassment of his long suffering family -- until the family encounter a bear in the cabin where they are vacationing. A rollicking fun and funny story by Lorraine Florido, "Dezzer The Gasser" is illustrated in true Disney style by former Disney animator and artist John W. Ewing. The result is an original and simply hilarious picture book that will be wildly popular with its young readers!
-Midwest Book Review


Dezzer the Gasser is a wonderful book that is original, very well-written, engaging, and quite entertaining. On top of that -- the icing on the cake -- Dezzer is beautifully illustrated by John Ewing, who worked on many classic Disney films including Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, and Winnie the Pooh. Without giving away all the details of the story, the book follows the adventures of Dezzer -- a baby born with a remarkable and hilarious talent. This remarkable talent creates all sorts of mayhem in his family's life. However, in the end, it also saves the day. This is the perfect book to read to your young child, and it is also great as an early reader. I highly recommend it!

-Peter Economy, Author of Writing Children Books for Dummies

“Full of delightful humor Florido’s story
will have the readers rolling with laughter.
Bright and colorful illustrations done by
Disney artist John Ewing fill every page.
Dezzer is a loveable character with a
gassy problem that will capture the heart
of the reader. An amusing tale that kids
will easily relate to Dezzer the Gasser is
a sheer delight for the young Captain
Underpants fans.”

“So Funny! Your Kids will love this book! As a
children's author I have high expectations for
children's books. This one is great. I can imagine
an animated children's series from this book.
Beautifully illustrated, well designed, colorful, and
full of adventure! Great for both boys and girls and
great fun to read in a classroom setting as well.”
