I just came across this book from an online posting and I thought it was hilarious! There are way too many uptight people out there in this country. Many of you could stand to lighten up a little (or a lot). I can imagine a parent cracking up while reading this to their kids and the children are none the wiser. A book both child and parent will get a kick out of.

GROW UP PEOPLE!
The Cifaldi brothers had a dream—a dream to create a book for adults in the guise of a children’s story. So they self-published 100 copies of Do You Want to Play With My Balls? The book was sent to a few book stores, but with only 100 copies in circulation, not many people stumbled across this treasure.
Just because it looks like a childrens book doesn't make it a childrens book. And anyone who would mistake that title for a childrens book would need their head examined.

Didn't buy this book but listened to the woman read it... I LOVE it.. people need to understand this is not for children.. this is a adult book with cartoon figures.. kind of like the show South Park.
People who gave this one star don't understand that cartoon drawings are not only for kids!

This brought back fond memories of recess when I was a kid. I remember how much fun we had on a nice spring day playing with each others balls. That's how I met my childhood friend Sally. She was sitting on a bench all alone and I sat down and suggested that she play with my balls. She was an only child so she didn't have any to play with at home. I should call her up and see if she wants to play with my balls.

Its an adult gag gift. Could be good for your buddy who's a first time parent. I appreciate sophomoric humor, but this was a little too misogynistic for my taste. There are plenty of other (and funnier) balls double entendres besides repeated attempts to get a girl to engage with them. Fun Fact: They raised over $47k on Kickstarter to publish the first edition.

jesus prudes get a grip, if you can't figure out by the title and some of the pages that its adult humor, yall have the problem, not the author of this book. its funny, its like the parenting go the F to sleep book, as parents we all can relate its a pain in the ass to get children to sleep. This is just another one of those books for us adults to have a nice chuckle at. And even if a child did see and read this book, they won't get the joke of it, if they do then its the parents problem.

Great, funny book. Everyone that is complaining is a crazy helicopter parent that has a suckbutt life because they can't take a dang joke. Lighten up, get the stick out of your butt and get over it. I've seen more sexual messages in Uncle Grandpa. Losers.

Watched on youtube, soooo funny. The people who write anything different are lacking intelligence and take life to serious.... its obviously not for kids and if a kid did read it... theres no way in hell they knew what they meant... WAWA stop ur whining!! Your little snotty nose brats are gonna be just fine...

I had to watch the video when I saw the title. AND, from the title, if you are an adult, you obviously know it is not a book for children. I laughed my butt off. I thought it was hilarious. Get off your high horses, people, it's humor not intended for children.

I'm buying it for what it's intended for: A JOKE. But I do appreciate the 49 A-holes who felt compelled to purchase it because they were 1) a moron, not knowing what it was really about, or 2) the type of person who spends money just to b*tch about something.

Honestly, to anyone upset that this book "appears to be for children" maybe you should read your kids books BEFORE giving it to them. with a name like "Do you want to play with my balls?" It would make some kind of sense to be a little concerned about the content. Someone said in one of these reviews that someone is going to sue the writer. Lighten up people, Its not that serious.

All the people here rating this a one star are pathetic religious freaks that have no sense of humor. It's an ADULT gag book!! Stop getting offended over something that isn't there. If u read this to a kid and they know you're talking about oral sex then the problem is with you as a parent. When my kid hears the word "balls" he thinks of an actual ball not a mans genitals! If u get offended then u must have something crammed up your bum perhaps they should write a book on how to remove it! Have a sense of humor people! Geez!

I would of given this a zereo star. This book is disgusting and if you buy this for your child you are too. Even if this is meant for a adult using kids in this sick humor is terrible. SHAME ON YOU.

This should be taken out of the Parenting and Relationships category and put in something where adults not looking for children's books will find it. It's slightly clever in a low humor kind of way. The illustrations are disturbing and Sally is severely disrespected despite the attention she gives the junior misogynists' body parts. Give it to your male friends whose minds haven't matured much beyond 6th grade.

Hillarious book for adults like everyone has said. I probably wouldn't read I to my children, however, if I did they would have no clue what it really is about. As adults we know about "blue balls" "hairy balls" and just "balls" in general but children and their innocence only would think of a ball they play with I the back yard or at the park.

The phrases used in this book are clearly deliberately sexualized. Pairing them wth pictures of children isn’t funny, even if children listening don’t notice, the image being invoked is disturbing, not funny.

This is a hilariously funny ADULT story written as a children's picture book. It has adult humour as one can tell from the title alone. One must have a sense of humour and not be too precious.

****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.
While the title alone alludes to a potential joke book, many parents don't pay much mind to that and unless you read the first couple pages, you may overlook it. I know many parents who don't look twice at what their child is reading as long as it appears age appropriate. Books like this need 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.

Do the people who find this funny have some hidden lust for child pornography? How is it funny to see sexual innuendos involving children? I fail to see the humor. I can maybe understand why a child rapist may think this is funny though...

Yes, you could read this to your child and turn blue laughing, but think for a second about the possibility (based on disturbing statistics) that they actually do get the innuendos and see you laughing hysterically at sexual innuendos with child characters, then wonder later why they didn't feel they could speak out to you for help.

Innocent harmless story or sick joke? You be the judge.
I guess it is how you interpret it. For a child to read it, it would be considered a harmless story about a child ball(s). As a media psychologists I would have to question the motives of the writers.

This book is disgusting and should not be listed with children's books. The authors did not have the courage to include their full names on the material and it is sad that the illustrator was a part of this charade because he has talent. Putting children in this scenario is beyond understanding. This book appears to be written for pedophiles. Not funny; not cute!

This is utter trash! Just another subliminal tool to groom our children and further do harm to the heterosexual image. I purchased the book as an example of what not to have and why not. I don't think this is funny at all but degrading to women right down to the illustrations and cunning, craftyy words written. The authors' should be ashamed of themselves.

I prefer to give it zero stars. Someone read it online and I am appalled! Shame on all of you for getting a kick out of it. It's aimed at children. Do you want your kids to become victims of pedophilia because that is the point of the book!! You all should be standing against this crap, not supporting it!

The sexualizing of children is both disturbing and perverted! Everyone who gave this a positive review is filth. First we have Salon giving a platform to an admitted pedophile, with the article,"I'm a pedophile but not a monster" now this. The next "phobia" is going to be "you are a pedophiliaphobic!"

This book is a disgusting display of degeneracy, poor taste and a mockery of children's books. This is NOT fit for children of ANY age, I don't care how young. Adult "gag" books have no business being printed in the format of a children's book. I consider the writer to have absolutely no class or couth and I'm totally appalled that a reputable publishing house would even publish it. Vulgar humor should NEVER be presented in a children's book format.
★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
aewsri
I get it. It's a gag gift type thing. I don't even care that it looks like a children's book, which some people complain about. What I DO care about is that the subjects of the book are children. People don't often joke about small children having sex or fondling each other so why is it suddenly funny in book form? Sorry, but that's gross, and I think it's sad that people find this acceptable and funny.

This should not be in the children's book section. It is an adult sexual gag. Beware!
There is a video on You Tube of someone reading this book, so I have "read" the whole thing.
The fact that it looks like a good book on playing nicely with diverse characters, is obviously meant to be misleading.

It is wrong to present this material in the format of a children's book. I understand that this book was written for adults, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't end up in the hands of a child. Children deserve to be protected. No moral adult would ever present such disgusting material in a way that could potentially appeal to an innocent child. And more seriously--yes, I do understand that this book was not intended to aid pedophiles, but a very sick adult could take advantage of the opportunity it yields, nonetheless.
★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
laura barcella
This is an awful, disturbing book. Even if it's meant as a gag gift for adults, why is the subject of small children and sexual acts funny? There are so many instances where children are forced into these situations by perverts, and now there is a book making a joke about them. This is not funny. This is something that should never have been put into print or digital form. It is disrespectful, disgusting and there is nothing good about it. It has nothing to do with having a sense of humor and everything to do with mixing two subjects that should never have any interaction. Booooo!

elizabeth benoit
I am also giving this a one star rating, because it is sold as a children's book. It is an ADULT GAG GIFT, and should be sold as such. I will challenge the store to TAKE A STAND, and either NOT sell this bok or move it into a ADULT section.

travis mead
Obviously not for young ones, after watching a video of a reading of the book. It is deceptively mixed in with children type images that might lead someone to believe it is "just a children's book." Wanna make it relevant for adults, then don't wrap it in kid like images, lest anyone think it is for those who practice in Pedophilia.

Disgusting... This is clearly twisted "humour" that does not belong on any child's book shelf. It's bad enough that
popular "culture" promotes perverted trash through sexually graphic music videos etc., but when little children are targeted
with this kind of smut, it's beyond appalling. I'm outraged that the store would sell such an inappropriate book that is clearly targeted to children!

This books was clearly NOT written for children or with children in mind. The title raised my eyebrows, but not wanting to judge a book by it's proverbial cover, I continued on. Wish I hadn't. The words, the phrasing, the verbal suggestiveness of it was sickening. Amusing? Hardly. I'd say "Shame on the publisher for marketing it as a children's book and making it available to unsuspecting people." Then I looked at the publisher.. Bum Bum Books. Really? Guess it kind of fits.

Maybe supposed to be marketed as an adult gag gift or something but this book is disturbing. It's one thing to make sex jokes and gag gifts of this sort...it's quite another to illustrate it with children making the sex jokes and then sell it to adults. Disgusting....even for those with a sense of humor. Shame on you the store for selling such perversion!!

Dispicable that this book is marketed in the children's section. I am horrified that a child could accidentally pick it up and read this sick mind molesting crap!

I did not purchase this book, but saw it online in a Facebook post. Needless to say, I am appalled that the store is selling this rubbish. It's bad enough the airwaves are clogged with such feces that our children have mouths full of feces. No wonder they have no respect for themselves or their elders. Must we invade their "books" as well as their cartoons. I realize this, and several others, are meant to be read by adults, but what if a child got a hold of this rubbish. Please, have come common sense and decency not to purchase this type of book, especially if you have kids in the house. I challenge the store to remove this book and others like it off their shelves/lists. Show some respect for yourself, the store, as well as your customers.

As THE REIGNING QUEEN of double entendre ..i'd have to say im pretty open-minded and easy going when it comes to humor of all kinds. o it is pretty huge for me to say something goes too far. This book WOULD be funny except for the fact that this book is only funny when getting an unsuspecting child to read it thereby making it disgusting...who wants to engage children in double entendre? yuck! Any adult gets the gag from the title without having to read the book at all so the excuse that it's an adult gag gift is bs. it's not funny in the least

Funny? Really? Adults who find this book "funny" must have the intelligence of a 10 yr old. It's completely written in a children's book format.
Sexual innuendo using children is just grotesque.
A woman actually read this to her child? Is your child's name "Candy" "Cherry" or "Angel" thus ensuring your subliminal message to become someone useful in society, like say, a stripper? Lol.
I'll bet these same "parents(?)" store their medications in a candy dish.
There should definitley be a warning label for adults before they accidently buy this book and gift it to a child.

It's a joke. The whole book is a joke. All the phrases in the story are puns on the word "balls". Well we laughed a lot... And then we were puzzled: it's the work of a genius or a really sick person. I still don't know the answer.

It is disgusting that this type of sexual perversion was allowed publication and that American adults not only like it but read it to their children. It is beyond deceptive to claim this book has in any reference to childlike joy... more like child like inappropriate sexual references. I'm saddened that the publisher allowed it to come out in a children's book format instead of an adult sexual joke book. fatal.

I first saw the story on UK Daily Star were parents were in a fury rage about this book and decided to check it out and for sure I found it on the store.com and as a 21 year old woman I was really disturbed, sicken and horrified. The title did raise a eyebrow for me but since they said it was a kids book I went in reading the book with a open mind and this is my opinion of the book. In no way shape or form is this a kid's book the sexual innuendos are littered in the book to the point of being so sickening and creepy and if someone can really read this book and not see the inappropriateness of the content of this book I really have to start questioning your moral compass. I don't have a dirty mind and I'm all pro-choice in the way you want to raise your child but this is NOT a kids book and the store should re-brand it a ADULT exotica. Just to show you the way of thinking of Cifaldi Brothers in their next book "Do you want to play with my Beaver?" and I quote "Look, there's Charlotte And her pussy!"
"Oh, it's gorgeous!" Beware of what you teach your kids while there young as it will come back to kick you in your...... BALLS!

I am a Pediatric Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, I did not purchase this book, I was shown the You Tube video of it being read aloud.

I'm no prude, but I would never, ever read this to my grandchildren, I'd be that ashamed. as a Number One Best Seller? Then why are there 27 Five-star ratings and 42 One-star ratings? Also, why are they selling a book that encourages children to be mean to each other when we are trying so hard to raise them to not be violent? Shame on the store and shame on any parent who buys this for their children.

Several days ago, I saw a Facebook post from Paul Coffman which shared Mediatakeout’s video of someone reading Do You Want to Play with My Balls? written by the Cifaldi Brothers and illustrated by Santiago Elizalde. It was accompanied by the message, “Disturbing Video. This is a real children’s book being sold to children. Parents, please make sure that your school isn’t using this book! (Wow. They are really trying to indoctrinate kids).” This is more of a book warning than a review, but I was able to read the entire book as the pages were being turned on the video (I would never have spent money to buy such a thing myself). In the book, a group of adorably cute children are pictured having different colored balls, accompanied by suggestive conversations. I found it quite disgusting. On the chance that it was some sort of hoax (those kinds of things do unintentionally get passed around on Facebook every now and then), I decided to do some research and was directed to Snopes. Now, Snopes is not God, so I don’t always believe it just because they say it, but here’s what they had on the book. “Is the new children’s book Do You Want to Play with My Balls? real? Yes … but it’s not really a ‘children’s book.'...{It] is not a work targeted for young readers but rather a parody of children’s books intended for a grown-up audience." So the book is a children’s book parody intended for adults not children. I get that, but the fact is that it looks like a children’s book, and apparently some stores have mistakenly stocked it in the children’s section. I don’t know whether any schools have used it or not, but given the perversity of some teachers, it wouldn’t surprise me.
And the publishers actually said, “Do You Want to Play with My Balls? is the perfect gift for parents, fun loving adults, friends, and even young children (though it’s probably best that they’re young enough to not understand the meaning of a pun).” Ugh! The book is for sale—really– at the store, which says, “It’s a book for all occasions: baby showers, birthday parties, bed time readings, brisses. No coffee table, nursery, or kindergarten is complete without a copy. Go ahead, read it to the kids! They’ll love it, but won’t have a clue as to why you’re turning blue with laughter!” That’s revolting too. As several reader reviewers noted, using children for adult sexual innuendo is just grotesque and sick, and even as a gag, the book, with its references to hairy balls and a Ménage à trois implication, is in poor taste, akin to being a playground for pedophilia. One person wrote, “Adults who find this book ‘funny’ must have the intelligence of a 10 yr. old.” In fact, another person who called it the “Funniest book EVER!”, saying “This is definitely not for kids! But it is for adults with a sense of humor,” may have hit on something by noting, “Don’t buy this for your kids. Buy it for the adult who never fully grew up.” The kind of “humor” in this book appeals to adults whose minds have never grown up out of the gutter stage of childhood. No, it is definitely not for kids, but it’s not for adults either who desire to be “perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1).

This so-called 'children's book' is a bad joke. Disgusting doesn't even come close to describing it. It isn't funny, has no moral value, and is far from entertaining for children, or adults. Written by a bunch of old, depraved, losers with nothing to do but try to titillate other old, depraved losers. I hope their efforts will bring them much loss. And above all, I hope this book is never 'taught' nor introduced to the innocent children.

Absolutely the stupidest thing to write about. This is not a children's book. This is an adult book. My question is, if you are the type of person that needs a cheap laugh, why do you need a book for that? You can get a cheap laugh on millions of websites for free, so don't even waste your money.

One star rating is not because of morals. It is because it isn't funny after the first page. It is too forced. No way it would be considered a children's book -- Bum Bum Books is the publisher. How could anyone think it a children's book? It isn't marketed as such (at least, not on the page I am looking at). It is marketed as adult novelty humor. This would be funny once, with great amounts of beer in a group that thinks passing gas is funny and creative.
The one star is because I was bored after the first page or two. Others find this hilarious and rate it five stars.
Do not buy it for your children, unless they are in beer-drinking fraternities.

My daughter started having lots of negative issues with the boys in her kindergarten class, right after we got this book, so I think the blame for the behavior is pretty clear. Wish I had not purchased.

It is unbelievable that the store is selling a book like this. It's bad enough someone actually published it. Shame on the store and the publisher for condoning such material to be produced and distributed. I will be canceling prime membership permanently.

Even if this was not intended for children as well as adults which it clearly is, it is still unacceptable to use children depictions in such pornographic humor " do you want to play with my balls" seriously??!

This isn't funny in the least. Sick humor and shouldn't be sold in with children's books. Too many sick perverts as there is, don't need stupid books like this being sold. Saw a video of this being read on Facebook and it was ridiculous. You need to stop selling any version of it.

I wouldn't even give this book 1 star. Why in the world do you have a book that belongs on a porn site? You know there are some small kids who know how to order this stuff. This just might make you lose my business.

Saw this on Facebook. Worse than the F*** U book that was written for kids last year. What is wrong with people these days? It's sick. Can't believe it was even published, much less written. Sick!

I have three grown children and two small grand babies. I WOULD NEVER have or will ever read a book like this to a child! This book implies
vulgar and sexual acts on all levels!!! It is disgusting and children should never be exposed to it!!!!!!!

Even as a gag, this book is in poor taste. Full of ball sacks, hairy balls and even a Ménage à trois reference, it's truly not even clever. Surely there is a better joke for an adult, or is it really that funny to be lewd around grandma? I guess she shouldn't have spoiled you.

The YouTube of the reading of this book came to me via Facebook. I was aghast at what I saw; the very adult text mixed with child illustrations.
If you find that combination of text and imagery funny as h3ll, then, you need to get your moral compass checked and checked fast.
Over 20 years in the military, my humor is far from saintly; but this just crosses a line that should not be crossed.
the store won’t allow me to purchase anything with a confederate flag, but it will allow me to purchase conceptual child porn.

More like ZERO stars. This is disgusting and perverted. Seriously. You must be pretty desperate to write a piece of s*** like this. Honestly. And we wonder what is wrong with the world today. WTF.

Cifaldi Brothers should be ashamed of themselves. Cannot believe the store is selling this book, surley they must not of viewed it which is possible.
And if you would trace it back it clearly is directed at children as well. It isn't funny or cute what so ever. Are those adults on the front, NO!!!!! This world is going to hell in a handbasket and trying to drag everyone else in it to. There is no excuse to cover this type of book. Better open your eyes.

This is like a 1-joke movie. It's just one funny joke told over and over in a dozen ways. The funny runs out after a few pages. I can't believe all the reviews on here saying how fantastic and hilarious it is. Seriously? Are you that lame? Everything about this book appears to be a book for children, and obviously a child would be attracted to it and try to read it. I'm sure the double-meaning would go over their head, but still unsuspecting parents would probably be aghast that some sicko wrote a children's book with every page filled with sexual inuendo.

Pure Foolishness! The one thing that aggravates me the most is that something meant for adults is dressed like it belongs to children. No adult book should EVER be jacketed like a children's book. It's misleading to say the least. It reminds me of back in the 80s & 90s when they used to put the x-rated cartoons in the regular cartoon tapes. It's all these foolish things that adults let slide through which over-sexual the world for our children and then we wonder what happened. Just plain ignorance!

This is not for children and is an insult to the industry and assult on our children. I was forcedd to give a star so here it is -1 I found it discusting and it should be banned or marked in the adult section.

No matter how you slice it, this book represents kids and has a color presentation and art style for kids. The words seem like something sicko's wrote to try and get their sick thoughts relayed through this book. If someone supports such a thing, of course it won't seem like a big deal to them, but this isn't funny to me so in my review I will say not to buy this for kids.
This book by the Cifaldi Brothers is under Bum Bum Books, which the logo looks a bit questionable but here is a description from their Facebook page:
"The perfect mix of innocent story telling with irreverent undertones."
Definition of Irreverent: Showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously.
So this book is a middle finger to a child's innocence in my opinion. If law enforcement or a child welfare agency saw this book in someone's possession, it may follow some sort of investigation.

I guess it's my fault for not realizing this is a Kindle only version. It's kind of pointless looking at it on my phone. the store doesn't offer a paper version. This would have been a neat conversation starter, had it been a physical book.

I am a therapist with a long history of working with sexually, physically and emotionally abused children. This is the most vile book I have seen
that "appears" to be written for children. How can it be brilliant? How can it be remotely funny? You think it is funny depicting children saying foul things to each other? Even violence? So someone even suggested you read it to children not young enough to understand. You think it is funny to laugh at their expense? So many ramifications of the consequences of advertising, selling and promoting such a book. It is mixed in with an assortment of serious children's topics and horrifying children's topics. It verges on prompting pornography. Worse it pokes fun and takes advantage of children and their sexuality. Kind of how pedophiles start out. " Hey kid let's read this children's book together?"

this book is not at all funny. It is crass and very stupid. Also it is hardly suitable for a children's book. Would ANY parent actually buy this book, much less read it to a young child? If they did, then there is something wrong with their heads.

This book is a perverted twist on "funny" and should not have the look of an innocent children's book. I hope the publisher gets sued. I rarely have a complaint but if you don't have any morals go ahead and buy it. We think it's someone trying to make a buck and have no original ideas so trashes sexuality. I hope the store pulls it off their site.

This book is sickening in that it appears to be a book for children, it is *not* in any way, but you would not know that without reading it. They need to make it clearer that this book is **not** for children.
Please RateDo You Want To Play With My Balls?
Presented like a classic children's tale, the book chronicles Louie, Chuck and Sally as they enjoy innuendo-filled childhood play activities.
"Hey Louie, do you want to play with my balls?", Chuck asks his friend, perfectly innocently.
Louie, simply wanting to help his chum Chuck, replies: "Sure Chuck! I can hold your ball sack so it won't drag on the ground."
Do not... I repeat DO NOT buy this as a book for a child.
