If you don't mind talking about farting, which take an ongoing occurance in my house, this book is a cute one to have.
I found it predictable. I definitely don't plan on showing it to my children. I can see people's objections about farting and the storyline, that didn't get me so much as the illustrations. I'm surprised it's a best seller.I'm glad I checked this book out from the library and didn't buy it. The illustrations are just too disturbing. One reviewer said they look like mutated zombies and I agree. All the people's skin was green and they had bizarre expressions on their face.To set the record straight, they tried to get this book published for 10 years so it was probably not a knock off, but I'm not surprised the story hasn't been done before.
It is a big hit in my daughter's fifth grade class. It helps kids to understand that while everybody farts, there is a time and place for farting to be appropriate. This is a very good book, for both kids and adults. Everybody farts.
as we read the book to the kids (age 4) they can see, and hear, Walter in action :)they love it. We bought the plush toy along with the book.
The boy likes to add his own farting noises when we read.via his mouth mind you.no one can fart that much on command, can they. Enough. We have all of the titles and I'll buy more. Come on, my son's kindergarten teacher read it to them in class. Wonderful book. Get over yourselves and read it for what it is. It's a great story. A dog who farts and has a family who loves him.
