Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale

Rating:
Summary: Walter farts his heart out
Review: "Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale" is the sequel. Once again Walter has a strange adventure as a result of his talent.
At the yard sale for some inexplicable reason no one comes near the table next to Walter. Well it seems like it is father's lucky day. A man wants to buy Walter. Personally I am with Walter in the fact that he is the family dog and how could Father sell him. Naturally the kids are not present.
What sinister plot can the pooch purchaser have in mind? And how if possible will Walter be able to once more use his gift to foil those plans?

Summary: Loses the first book.s sweet spirit
Review: From the moment Dad sells Walter at the garage sale without so much as a second thought, this book heads down the wrong path. It does not have the goofy sweet spirit of the first book. The kids I read it to were really upset that not only Dad sold the dog, but he lies without even a blink. Boo Hiss!

Summary: Don't buy
Review: I bought this book for my kids. My husband and I, as well as my family think it is stupid and it has been thrown in the trash.

Summary: Gota love Walter!
Review: I disagree comlpetely with anyone who says that this book isn't as good as the first. It is just as funny and my three kids love it. My 7 yr old took it to school and the teacher read it to the class and it was a big hit.It is another family classic! I also recommend "Dirty Bertie".

Rating:
Summary: inappropriate
Review: I ordered this book for my granddaughter and was very put off. Surely we can raise the bar and write books about things other than body functions. Farting can be a funny subject for kids of course and handled with a lighter hand, it might have been a cute book. Too coarse!

Summary: Walter, Canus Inflatus
Review: I ran across the first two Walter books while I was at the mall waiting for my husband to finish looking at every single DVD in stock (there must have been thousands.) So I had plenty of time to read both books. I loved them!

I rarely have occasion to look at childrens' books, so I was a bit surprised at the title. It's a far cry from Wishbone and Clifford the Big Red Dog. But this is a very funny book. Yes, it's lowbrow and coarse. So are the Three Stooges and most children. And behind their sophisticated, mature exteriors, so are most adults. So relax and enjoy this well-written (by William Kotzwinkle, author of E.T.) story of a stray dog whose family loves him even with his one major flaw. Find out how Walter triumphs despite being sold at the family yard sale to an evil clown who uses Walter to inflate putrid balloons to use as weapons during a bank robbery.

And for those over-educated lowbrows among you, check out the Latin translation (really!), Walter, Canus Inflatus.

Review: I was disappointed in this book
"Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale" doesn't stack up to the first book Walter the Farting Dog. If I read this book before buying it I would have not bought it.

Summary: a dog lover's special
Review: If you don't have a sense of humor, don't buy this book. If you want to laugh outloud, buy it. If you're a dog person, you'll want to buy copies for your friends.

Summary: Kick Back and Laugh!
Review: If you enjoyed the first "Walter the Farting Dog," you'll fall off your chair laughing at this second book in the series. William Kotzwinkle's imagination is one to admire to come up with such a creative and cute use of a bodily function that we all have to address at some point in our lives. If you're offended by farts, don't buy the book. But if you have grown up in an environment where you can joke about these acts of nature, you'll laugh you head off while reading this book! I say, "Laugh, and laugh out loud!"
