William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray - Walter, the Farting Dog

Pros: Funny. The kids will love it.

Cons: One joke book. May offend some

The Bottom Line: This book is a gut buster!

Review: I had some time to kill before my movie started, so I wandered to the bookstore next door. This is a long, narrow bookstore and the end I normally go to was crowded. I found myself down in the children's section which was blissfully free of customers for ...

Pros: BEYONDdelightful illustrations. Teaches an important lesson while causing laughter.

Cons: In my opinion "farting" isn't an appropriate word for a children's book.

The Bottom Line: We're all special and needed--but, sometimes, we just have a hard time figuring out why and how!

Review: I was going to wait for awhile before writing a review of this phew-nique book, but I just couldn't wait any longer!

So let's just hope that my cousin, David, or my "adopted" brother, Mark, don't read this before they get their gifts from me...

Pros: Hilarious. Cute illustrations.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A must have for every fart-lovers book collection.

Review: So I was forced to go on a mother / daughter trip with half of my parental unit to Lake George, NY t ...

Pros: Great Illustration Wonderful Story Funny ending

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: This is an awesome book for readers of all ages and has some of the best illustrations I have seen in a kids book.

Review: I bought this book based on the other reviews on this site. I have to say, what a great purchase it ...

Pros: Simple, familiar plot.

Cons: Simple, familiar plot.

The Bottom Line: Anyone who's read a Walter book will want to read this one to witness the evolution of the Walter saga and the wonderful artwork. Walter has more gas than Exxon.

Review: Walter the Farting Dog is the first of a series of dogs about a rotund dog with extreme flatulence. Other books in the series are: Walter the Farting Dog goes on a Cruise (2006), Walter the Farting Dog Banned From the Beach (2007), Walter the ...

Pros: Terrific illustrations; appeals to young readers

Cons: Those who hate potty humor will hate this.

The Bottom Line: Kids (and those who think like them) will love this book as much as a whoopee cushion!

Review: My father once said that a person that has to resort to potty humor to get a laugh doesn't have anything all that intelligent to say. That may be true, but it doesn't mean that thousands of people won't line up to hear crude humor anyway. A case in ...

Pros: Humor, illustrations, Walter the adorable farting dog

Cons: Farting dogs might encourage children

The Bottom Line: A book that provides laughter and encourages a love of books in young children always gets my vote as valuable. This dog, Walter, is fabulous.

Review: If there is no dog around and someone rips one, they could blame a barking spider. If there’s a dog nearby, blame the canine. In Betty and Billy’s house everyone blamed Walter, the original farting dog. Walter, the Farting Dog, by authors ...

Pros: Quite humorous. Every family has a "Walter"!

Cons: Wording not appropriate for a children's book, in my opinion.

The Bottom Line: A great book for the adult who loves bathroom humor. Indeed, this was purchased as a gag gift.

Review: While on a trip to Fairbanks, my husband and I had some time to kill, so we strolled through a mini mall. One of the stores happened to be a book store and we stopped in to purchase a book on CD to listen to on the trip home to Anchorage. We made our ...

Pros: Well illustrated. The storyline is very funny. Good diversity of the characters.

Cons: Beware if you think your child may become scared by home invasion storyline.

Review: My daughter enjoyed the story right before bedtime. I considered putting the book down when the storyline featured two burglars that enter Walter's house. My five year old daughter has never had a problem sleeping by herself or concerns about the dark- ...

Pros: could be humorous

Cons: illustrations are horribly surreal, subject matter

The Bottom Line: I don't like the topic of farting or the illustrations in this one. Humorous, maybe.

Review: Yes, it is a childrens’ books about a very lovable and very stinky dog. This is a unique book to say the least from the subject matter itself to the illustrations. I can’t say I’m a fan, but maybe you will like this one. Betty and Billy bring Walter ...
