Summary: Can you really say "fart" in public?
Review: I was actually on a "Business call" to a local bookseller and left with Walter...what does that say about me???? I gave it to my nephew who thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to say "fart" in publc. Perhaps it was a wicked and vicarious pleasure on my part. I have considered purchasing another copy of this book for myself because I think it would make a great coffee table conversation piece. The illustrations are hilarious (esp. facial expressions). I could absolutely empathize with Betty's freestyle hair do...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is just funny.
Review: I saw this book and just couldn't resist it. In fact, I got it for my husband (we have a toddler, but this book is too wordy for him right now, he'll enjoy it in the future), who laughed until he cried the first time he read it. Yes, it's gross, but the book is genuinely funny; it doesn't only rely on shock value. The graphics are great, too, very trippy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is it my imagination...
Review: ...or is this book a complete rip-off of Dogbreath by Dav Pilkey? Same basic plotline: dog about to be forcibly ejected from a family because of his odor problem, only to save the day by using said problem to knock out burglars. Hmm... All in all, I would recommend Dav Pilkey's book over this one. The illustrations are much cuter (Walter looks kinda creepy to me), and halitosis is less embarrassing than flatulence for adults to talk about with kids. Just my two cents' worth. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Dog Did It.
Review: When I saw this book at the store and cracked it open, I was in tears from laughing so hard over the subject.

I have read this story to my kids ( 5 & 3) countless times, and they adore it.

They have this (mis) conception that the reason we have our dog, a 90# lab, is so that she can ward of bad guys.

Our dog is only too happy to help keep this myth alive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is a real GAS ;)
Review: I was browsing children's literature in a bookstore when I scanned across the title of the odd little book. I HAD to pick it up and read it. I laughed OUT LOUD right in the middle of the store. Not only is it funny, it has quite a good little moral of loving someone even though they may have shortcomings. As I was reading, I thought of my students with disabilities. It is hard to find a book that gives them incentive to read, but this story is just that. They can't wait to check it out from our classroom library. I would give it a higher rating if I possibly could.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a refreshing and hilarious book to learn and laugh by!
Review: Walter is wonderfully endearing, the children show classic love for another being regardless of his shortcomings. What a delightful approach to the discussion of body functions. We who have been raised in such proper homes that one does not say words such as "fart," take utter delight in showing this book to those with their noses in the air. We still don't say the word "fart" or "butt" in our home, but understand the use of those words. Why deny teaching our children the reality of life as it is?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dreadful Title, Hysterical Book, Super Illustrations!
Review: I hate to say it, but I had to get this book for my son once I saw the title - and what a reward it was! If you can get past the fact it is all about this poor little dog with a serious gas problem - you will be hard put not to laugh out loud at poor Walter's woes. The illustrations are wonderful - Walter's expressions, the expressions on the faces of each family member and, of course, the representations of the "clouds of odor". My son is 8 and he loves this book (I wonder why!). This is a must for your family - and is sure to make even the grumpiest person smile!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious.... maybe not for younger children (YOUR CHOICE)
Review: My roommate, who farts a lot, loved the book. He may be a child at heart... but he's not a 4 year old. Parents be warned... the book does say FART. It does show the dog FARTING. If that's not something you want in your house, then DON'T BUY IT.

If you have no problem with bodily functions, and you have well-adjusted children, then go ahead! BUY IT! It's a great book!

Besides, FART is not a bad word, people. What do you prefer? "Toot"? "Flatulence"? Give me a break.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: My kids love this book! We always get a case of the giggles every time we ready it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SO SO SO SO SO FUNNY!!!
Review: This is definitely one of the best and funniest books I've read to my kids. The story is hilarious and the illustrations are stupendous. So many kids books are just plain boring and torturous to read--this one had me laughing as hard as the kids and I'm always delighted to read it again. I can't wait to see his next book!
