Review of
Walter
the Farting Dog, by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray
ISBN 1583940537
Five out of five stars
This is a book
that will illicit overwhelming giggles when read to a class of elementary
school children. Walter is an otherwise normal and loyal dog, but he has a
horrible flatulence problem in both volume and odor. This creates problems in
his household as the adults have reached the point where they think it is time
for him to be relocated. When Walter is instrumental in stopping a major crime,
all is forgiven, and all the members of the family conclude that it is possible
for them to tolerate the stench.
The subject
matter is one that children will want to read and have read to them many times.
The lack of decorum is more than made up for by the entertainment value. I
strongly recommend this book to parents that want to read something that nearly
all children will find funny.
