Walter, the Farting Dog by Glenn Murray, William Kotzwinkle (2001, Hardcover, Illustrated)

Children seem to think anything to do with bodily functions is quite amusing, and this book really proves it. I read some reviews for this book and decided my grandchildren would like it- and they did. I have to read it to them every night that they are here with us, and the 7 year old even tries to get me to read it twice in a row. It is a cute story and is very entertaining- even to the adults. Of course hearing our grandchildren laugh so much is amusing enough for us. We highly recommend this book- the children in your life ( and probably the adults too ) will love it!

THE NAME HAD A CATCHY RING TO IT. CERTAINLY GOT MY ATTENTION. I ENJOY PURCHASING BOOKS SUCH AS THIS, MY DAUGHTER IS IN SCHOOL GOING FOR HER PH.D. SHE IS 28 YEARS OLD AND LOVES TO RECEIVE GIFTS FROM HOME LIKE THIS ONE. THE BOOK IS SO FUNNY POOR OLD WALTER GETS ALL OF THE BLAME FOR EVERYTHING. IT IS A PERFECT PARTY BOOK TO READ FOR ALL AGE GROUPS!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY ADULTS. IF YOU CAN FIND A COPY PLEASE GET IT. ITS A BLAST.

This is an adorable story. The illustrations are great. The story shows that you can be special inside no matter what happens on the outside. Such a funny, warm, and cute story. This would be a great addition to anyone's library collection. I would buy more in the series! My children just loved this book!

This book is funny and has a great plot for young kids. It will make both parties smile...i cannot wait to read it to my little man!

This story is quite funny to five and six year olds, who are the ones I bought it for. Poor Walter has such an unfortunate problem, but he ends up saving the day for his family. The pictures are great too!

This book is written so that children can relate and learn a valuable lifes lesson without realizing they are learning. They learn through Walter that what a person "seems" like is not always how they are, and even stinky dogs can be heros if someone believes in them. An excellent lesson written in an endearing funny way that appeals to whales and snails and puppy dog tails.

This is a great book that kids can relate to! The story shows that not everyone is perfect, but you love them anyway. Would recommend, even to the "prim and proper".
