Sometimes I just want to read something ridiculous.
Sometimes I regret it.
An adult humor book disguised as a children’s. Nasty and funny, but mostly nasty.
I think this could be funny at a party, or if you are kinda loaded. I was neither. Or maybe it's just not my type of humor.
Definitely not for children.
Don’t judge me, I was bored!

PERSONAL NOTE :

A veces sólo quiero leer algo ridículo.
A veces me arrepiento.
Un libro de humor para adultos disfrazado como uno de niños. Cochino y gracioso, pero más que nada cochino.
Creo que podría ser divertido en una fiesta, o si estás medio tomado. Ninguno era mi caso. O tal vez no sea mi tipo de humor.
Definitivamente no es para niños.
No me juzguen, estaba aburrido!

This seems like a fitting choice to add to this week’s reading list . . . .
Take your momma’s advice, Louie. My husband wishes he could say that to me more frequently, but I’m a smart girl and learned about choking hazards a long time ago.
This book also teaches children important lessons about sharing and being helpful . . .
as well as treating someone else’s balls with the proper respect . . .
and about avoiding germs . . .
Ewwwww. Don’t let your dog lick other kids’ balls!!!!
You are sooooo right Daryl. This is a CHILDREN’S BOOK FOR CHRIST SAKE!
*countdown to someone telling me that this is actually not a kid’s book in 3, 2 . . . *

4 Seriously Messed Up and Funny!★'s
“Louie! Get those ball's out of your mouth before you choke!”
OMFG, Thank you, YouTube 😂!! I randomly came across this tonight and at a time when I really needed a good chuckle. This did not disappoint *shakes head*. It was terrible, inappropriate, and ridiculously funny (to ME). Okay so maybe I'm immature for my age, what's it to you? Or perhaps I can just take this for what it is a joke and a good one! Yes, this is "supposed" to be a children's book, would I ever actually read this to my little niece or any other little kid, no probably not, well maybe... shut up don't judge me¯\_(ツ)_/¯! This book is really clever because it looks innocent but is one big double entendre. Definitely not one for those who take life too seriously or that don't have a sense of humor, like at all! The illustrations are wonderful too. I for one enjoyed having a good belly laugh. So thank you and your dirty-mind Cifalsi Brothers :)
➽This is my favorite part!
HYSTERICAL HYSTERICAL HYSTERICAL

It tickled me to see that such an exquisite book actually exists.
More sex innuendoes galore!
I have the mentality of a 12 year old boy. #sorrynotsorry

****NOT FOR CHILDREN****
This is for adults. While amusing it is not innocent. While this images may seem childlike the wording is not. These are the type of lines that had I said in front of my parents, as a teenager, would have had my mouth washed out with soap for dirty talk. For those who want stupid sex innuendos this can be funny. I found it mostly eye-rolling but I can see where adults or teens can get a kick out of it.
book needs a disclaimer and should not say it is 'for young and old alike.' I would be furious is my little kid got a hold of this. The looks are too deceiving.

not sure if this deserves 5 stars or 1.

A mildly funny exercise on how sexual innuendo could be manufactured out of the dual meaning of the word "balls". Definitely not a children's book, and should not be allowed to be marketed as one.

As a children's book this is awful. Why does pedobear come to mind????
As an adult book to pass around at a drunk party, pretty funny. Let the reading games begin, who can read with a straight face, who can read without laughingly and so on.

Not for kids. Except the adult kind, most likely those in possession of balls.

December 7, 2017Šteta što nemam policu "nezreli (pret)pubertetski humor", ali ova knjiga definitivno tu spada :D
Ali ubedljivo najbolji deo su komentari uvređenih na Goodreadsu koji u 21-vom veku, u eri interneta-na-kom-ništa-nije-sveto, u zlatnom dobu groznog humora, otvore knjigu koja se zove "Do You Want To Play With My Balls?" i očekuju... dečiju knjigu XD

I saw this book for the first time on Facebook. After reading it via a you tube video, I hold an opinion of it's content. I will admit there were parts where I laughed and I would have probably said I liked it if it was a book for adults as a joke. But the fact that it really is a children's book and the author says it should be in every kinder-garden is appalling. We should let kids be kids and enjoy their childhood in innocence. They have the rest of their adulthood to learn about balls and other body parts!

Fazendo de tudo pra enrolar não assistir o filme do Agostinho, fui ler esse livrinho que de infantil não tem nada e nem sei o que falar dele, é tão terrível quanto parece. No bom sentido. O engenhoso é que pode dá-lo para crianças lerem, pois da perspectiva delas não tem nada de mais, porém é capaz de fazer os adultos corarem.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How hilarious! I got this as part of a funny gift to give to friends and had to read it first. It's so freaking funny! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!

September 14, 2015 THIS IS NOT NOT NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK I will say it again THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK !!! and I am sorry I got roped into reading it! negative 5 stars
I saw this on a facebook video feed and someone was freaking out over it! As a Children's Librarian I was curious about it. I feel like I need to be kept informed about things. I have seen books get banned by narrow minded people and I wanted to see who was trying to ban a book.. having said it...and having suffered through it... THIS IS NOT A KIDS BOOK It is for adults. It is meant to be humorous and for adults who aren't very classy. For adult humor, it is tacky and tasteless...read it along side your "Shades of Grey" and it makes Shades of Grey Look classy.
Boys in college dorms rooms, men in locker rooms, and those giggling at the cartoons published in Adult magazines will find this amusing. (Thanks former co-workers at an internet company who made me aware that there were such things as tasteless comics in adult magazines)"
The Author and illustrators of this book need to grow up. Because it has a cartoon child like feel, it is Wolf in Sheep's Clothing a pathetic counterfeit to quality children's literature and quality literature every. not worth the paper it is printed on an the digital space it is occupying in cyberspace The rest of the world who read quality literature should just walk on by!!
I thought maybe I wouldn't even add this to my good reads feeds but I wanted people to be aware, that NO SCHOOL is going to buy this, it is a joke, and it is stupid and in extremely POOR taste!

READING THIS BOOK AS AN ADULT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING! HILARIOUS 😭 REALLY MADE MY DAY!
it's a 5-stars book because i read it as an adult. it was totally a VERY BAD BOOK considering it was supposed to be for children.
but it wasn't harmful anyhow.
i mean, even though it was nasty, children wouldn't find out what was it about until they grow up.

I was screaming laughing!!! This is genius! They disguised this book into looking like a childrens book, but it's not! Legendary!!! And the art was great tbh...

I actually thought it was a cute book. I know there is a lot of people trying to stir up a bunch of stuff and get it pulled, but to be truthful there is nothing wrong with the book. It is only bad in the minds of the dirty minded adult. To a child they see the innocents in this book and will enjoy it. I actually ended up buying the book on amazon just to help support the author. Hope one day to be able to get it signed. :-)

December 30, 2017غريب جدا, هو المفترض انه كتاب أطفال
حلو
ولكنه ممكن يتاخد انه كتاب ابيح

بس القصة تمشي تماما عن الارقام و الاعداد و الاشكال لاطفال
حلو
بس يعني لو مخك شمال شوية هتلاقي فيه حاجات لا يعني لا مؤاخذه

I watched a read-along video of this on Facebook, and it was absolutely hilarious. This is a children's book that is NOT aimed towards children. It features children, but the wording is absolutely adult. It's all about BALLS JOKES. So, if you don't like DICK JOKES, it is NOT for you. Personally, I found it absolutely laughing-out-loud funny.

Another YouTube treat --- a children's book for adults because when children say some of the things mentioned in this book they are so cute and adorable but when adults say ... well not so much!
read by Nana!

Honestly? This book is fucking hilarious! Totally the book you give your ten-year-old not your five-year-old.

Quite clever and very lude. Still it made me laugh. Definitely not a book to read to the kidos.

WTF?
Apparently this really is a children's book. This book is very clever because it looks innocent but is one big double entendre.

Oh my goodness, what did I just read? This book sounds so wrong, but then again maybe it was my dirty mind telling me it was wrong. I wanna say the author(s) of this book was/were genius(es) for getting a book like this be published, but I don't know... deep inside me, it felt wrong in many different levels. Nevertheless, thanks to this book I got to add one book on my list of books read this year.
