Rating: 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!"
Rating: Summary: Funny For Kids and Adults Review: My two-year-old and I both found this book amusing. Anything with potty humor is a big hit with my daughter. It's a book people, lighten up! There are worse things kids could be reading.
Rating: Summary: Not funny... Review: The first book, Walter, the Farting Dog, is hilarious. This book is not. Father sells the dog behind the kids' back, then lies about it and a clown confines Walter to a "fart catcher" and forces the dog to eat beans and blow up balloons to be used in crimes. There are so many ways this story could have been made more palatable - having Walter be stolen instead of sold would have been a good start. If you liked the first book, stick with that one and pass on this one.
Rating: Summary: EHHHH Review: This book no makeths the sense. Dog plus fart no maketh the funny. Author equals must be of the weird variety. Who would createth such a disturbing book about the farting of dogs?
Rating: Summary: terrible...just terrible... Review: this has to be the most pathetic attempt at a childrens book ive ever seen! after seeing this book at the store i was curious to read it, so i did. talk about a writer with no talent! kids these days shouldnt be reading books that have the word fart on every page. they should be reading books that get their imaginations going, like harold and the purple crayon or where the wild things are. kids should be able to be creative and always learning and not going around saying "hyuk hyuk...fart..."
Rating: Summary: Worst Book Ever Review: This was the absolute worst book I have ever read to my child. I would have never bought this book if I had known how awful it really was!
Rating: Summary: It is about FARTS! Review: To all of those reviewers who have panned or have been offended by this book, all I have to say is:"I fart in your general direction" The name of the book is Walter the Farting Dog. If farts offend you, DON'T READ THE BOOK! Did you think it was going to be about making cookies?!?!? The book is strange, weird and silly. The drawings are abstract and fun to look at. The story is weird at best, but a story about a farting dog, come on, this ain't War and Peace. If you like farts, buy the book. My kids LOVE it, and isn't that who the book is written for? Craig
Rating: Summary: This kind of literature is a breath of fresh air. Review: Walter reminds me of many a night after the bean burrito. This book keeps us in touch with special moments of our childhood. I would recommend this book for anyone who has ever blamed their own flatulence on their innocent dog.
Rating: Summary: Very Cute! My neice loved it! Review: Wonderful children's book. At first I thought it was a little weird, a story about a farting dog? huh? But I read it with my niece and she loved the story and they colorful pictures. And after I read it I realized how lovely it was, very cute story great drawings. I would recommend this to someone who wants to give a "different" gift, that will be appreciated. :)
