We hold this truth to be self-evident: farting makes kids laugh. Walter, an apologetic-looking dog
adopted from the pound, passes gas morning, noon, and night, no matter what he eats, whether it's a
25-pound bag of low-fart dog biscuits, cat food, or fried chicken. On the bright side, "If Uncle Irv let one
slip, he just went and stood near Walter." When Father reaches the limit of his patience with Walter's
flatulence, he decides the pooch is once again pound-bound, despite Betty and Billy's pleading. Poor
Walter knows his days are numbered and "He resolved to hold in his farts forever." That very night, two
burglars break into Walter's family's house, and (you can see where this is going) Walter gasses the
burglars with a "hideous cloud" that forces them to drop their loot and run into the clutches of the police
officers, "choking and gasping for air." The next morning Father and Mother discover Walter has saved
the day--or at least their silverware and VCR. "And so the family learned to live with Walter, the hero dog.
And that is the end of our tail." (Or is it? Fans will be pleased to discover the next book Walter the Farting
Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale.) Audrey Colman's highly stylized illustrations, imbued with a surreal,
Monty Pythonesque collage look, are as absurdly comical as this silly story that is purely powered by
natural gas. (Ages 5 to 8) --Karin Snelson

Goes on a Cruise
Goes on a Cruise
It’s a fabulous floating palace, and everybody on
it is having the time of their life…until a
mysterious and terrible odor begins to permeate
the splendid ship.What can this awful odor be?
All signs point to Walter, and so he is banished
down below, with the stinky cheeses.Walter
doesn’t mind—at least he has something to
snack on. But not even the cheese room can
contain Walter’s powerful farts. So they lower
him onto a lifeboat, and he is forced to travel
alone behind the ocean liner. Then catastrophe
strikes! The liner loses its power. How long will
the great cruise ship and its frightened
passengers be marooned on the high seas?
About as long as it takes Walter to digest that
cheese….

Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble At the Yard Sale
From Booklist
K-Gr. 3. Yes, Walter is back, as gassy as ever. This time, he is at a yard sale, but Father doesn't sell
anything, because Walter drives away the customers. Then a man wants to know if Walter is for sale,
and while the children, Betty and Billy, are away, Dad makes the deal. The new owner takes Walter
home and hooks him up to a "fart catcher," blowing up balloons, which the man assures Walter will be
used at a children's party, where he works as a clown. "'Well, at least it's for the children,' thought Walter,
who farted." But it's not! The clown, who is really a robber, bursts the balloons in a bank, and the odor is
so bad that the loot is readily given up. A few twists, turns, and farts later, things work out fine. This has
the same gross humor as the previous book and even more inventive illustrations, a mix of collage and
computer-generated art. In fact, there's so much to see in the pictures, children can look and laugh for
hours. Don't muzzle Walter--at either end. Ilene Cooper

Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe are enjoying their seaside vacation . . . until a certain dog blows away their umbrella
with an enormous fart. Before long, Walter is banned from the beach. While stuck inside the beach
house, Walter snacks on a sack of strange-looking tropical fruit labeled Cook Thoroughly. Meanwhile,
Betty and Billy hunt for treasure out on a sandbar. As soon as they find a nickel, Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe
elbow their way in. All four get marooned during high tide. Will Walter hear their cries for help? And why
did that tropical fruit have to be thoroughly cooked?

Walter makes his third appearance in yet another unapologetically silly picture book, this one dedicated
to "everyone who's ever felt misjudged or misunderstood." The story begins when animal gas expert
Professor Kompressor pays a visit to Walter's family, equipped with a contraption that looks like a cross
between a vacuum cleaner and an old phonograph: "I understand your dog has a farting disorder," he
says. At first it seems as if the professor's prescription of powders and potions is working, but one day,
young Billy and Betty see Walter floating like a helium balloon over the trees, so full of pent-up gas he
has become airborne. Unable to release his gas, the unfortunate dog floats over hill and dale for days
and days. The formula for these books requires the much-maligned Walter to redeem his gaseous self
by saving the day (he gasses out burglars in the first one and helps catch bank robbers in the second).
Here, even more absurdly, he saves millions of butterflies from a freezing windstorm by letting rip a
warm cloud of air that melts the frost off their wings. Colorful, crisp, almost three-dimensional art,
generated with a digital painting and collage technique, gives the book a bizarre, sophisticated style that
both complements and elevates the cheap laughs. (Ages 6 to 9) --Karin Snelson --This text refers to the
Hardcover edition.
