More About This Book

Overview

Warning: This book may cause flatulence. Walter is a fine dog, except for one small problem: he has gas. He can't help it; it's just the way he is. Fortunately, the kids Billy and Betty love him regardless, but Father says he's got to go! Poor Walter, he's going to the dog pound tomorrow. And then, in the night, burglars strike. Walter has his chance to be a hero. A children's beloved classic, this story will have kids rolling on the floor with laughter. Adults are permitted to laugh too.

Walter the dog creates problems with his farts but becomes a hero when burglars enter the house.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Here's a companion to Taro Gomi's Everyone Poops, albeit with less educational value. Walter, a fat gray dog with an apologetic look on his face, comes home from the pound with two children. He has incurable gas, and his family decides to take him back. The night before he is to go, Walter sadly devours "the 25-pound bag of low-fart dog biscuits the vet had prescribed for him, which had made him fart more.... A gigantic gas bubble began to build inside him." Wouldn't you know, two burglars break in, and Walter's liability becomes his asset. Predictable stuff, but Kotzwinkle (Trouble in Bugland) and education writer Murray know their audience. Their simple strategy just keep saying "fart" should have children rolling in the aisles during read-aloud. Newcomer Colman likewise fixates on one visual gag, Walter with steam blasting out his backside. Unlike Babette Cole, whose Dr. Dog takes a mock-scientific approach to digestion, Colman specializes in reaction shots; in her surreal collages of photos and patterns, people hold their noses and a cat glances at the culprit. Yes, this lowbrow endeavor could be a crowd-pleaser but, like its topic, its disruptive effects will tend to linger. Ages 4-8. (Oct.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Read an Excerpt

[OUTSIDE THE HOME]Betty and Billy brought Walter home from the dog pound. “Nobody wanted him,” said Billy.“But we love him,” said Betty.“Well, he smells awful,” said their mother. “I think you’d better give him a bath.”[IN THE BATHROOM]Mother walked in and said, “He still smells awful.” And that’s when they got the first clue. The tell-tale bubbles in the water.“He’s probably just a little nervous,” said Mother, hopefully. “His stomach must be upset.”But Walter’s stomach wasn’t upset. Walter’s stomach was fine. He felt perfectly normal. He just farted a lot.

    Hilarious

    My four year old and I read this in the store and it was hilarious. After we left the store it was all he talked about. So I bought it and we read it all the time. It is a sweet and funny story about a farting dog. The kids love him, but no matter what he eats he farts. The dad tells them to get rid of the dog. But then burglars come into the house and his farts run them off - he is a hero! Great story!

    Great kids book!

    This one is laugh-out-loud funny. Kids and grown-ups will enjoy this story over and over again. Readers will love Walter and his special talent that helps to save the family's valuables. Walter is a hero!

    Annoying Book

    First off, I have no problem with the topic of this book being about farts. My problem is that the story seems to just drag on, the illustrated characters are completely creepy -especially the burglars who break into the house in the middle of the night! I'm suppose to read this to my child at bed time so that he can have nightmares about men coming through our windows at night!?! I really cannot stand this book and I don't think it is appropriate at all for small children! Not funny and not entertaining.

    For anyone who has ever had or known a smelly dog, this book is for you! I gave it to my mom for Christmas and we thought it was so funny that my family reads it every year on Christmas day. It is funny for children and adults alike.

    This is a wonderful book for both children and adults. I can highly recommend this book for reading before bed, around the table, or just about anywhere. It is a great book to cheer you up when you are sad, and just plain old fun for the whole family.

    The story lines are funny, and children can really understand the characters from a child and dog's perspective.

    Very Cute and FUNNY!!

    The story is funny! If you don't appreciate "fart" humor, don't waste your time. It's a cute story and works out well in the end. It is suppose to be a kid's book, but all the adults we've given a copy to have enjoyed it immensely. We're all a bunch of kids anyway, right? ... we're just big kids!

    Too Funny for Words

    I actually bought this for my husband - it's a great ice-breaker book in his office. A friend has these books in his office and that's how I found out about them. Any man who passes gas (which would be a lot of guys out there) would get a kick out of these books.

    Kids think they're funny, too. Our daughter thinks they're hysterical.

    Slightly crude, but precious

    I have read this to my preschool group of children and we had all a lot of fun. The tales of Walter and his small problems made for a lot of hard laughing for the whole hour. Some might find it somehow crude, but please just take it easy and look at Walter's facial expressions - they are just precious...

    A different kind a book, for older kids, but equally precious is "Why Some Cats are Rascals". I got the first book in this series for my 10 years old sun for Christmas. Beautiful cover, great stories!

    People who LOVE living and laughing...

    I can honestly say this book is one of the many I will NEVER refuse my child of viewing or enjoy reading along together. Although this book does not address using manners when things 'arise' it has helped my son (2 1/2) to become more familiar with his body functions. This book series combines strong humor with a sense of learning at a 'less' mature level. Even the most stubborn reviewers know they want to laugh! Laughter is the secret of longevity!
