2.0 out of 5 stars Loses the first book.s sweet spirit, July 12, 2004

This review is from: Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale (Hardcover)

From the moment Dad sells Walter at the garage sale without so much as a second thought, this book heads down the wrong path. It does not have the goofy sweet spirit of the first book. The kids I read it to were really upset that not only Dad sold the dog, but he lies without even a blink. Boo Hiss!

4.0 out of 5 stars Acceptance, love and tolerance, March 14, 2005

Oh my goodness! First of all: this is a book. A kid's book. Kids like farts. They are funny. If you bought the book, why didn't you take the time to read it before you walked out the store? It's not called "Walter the Sweet-smelling Pooch". The name quite clearly says it all. Most importantly, the dedication sums it up: being tolerant, accepting, and yes, loving others for being just who they are. So what if kids (and some adults) howl with laughter when Walter goes flying across the room? Benjamin Frankly said to "Fart proudly." Shrek said "Better out than in." I say we need to get over our hang ups!

4.0 out of 5 stars This kind of literature is a breath of fresh air., November 22, 2004

Walter reminds me of many a night after the bean burrito. This book keeps us in touch with special moments of our childhood. I would recommend this book for anyone who has ever blamed their own flatulence on their innocent dog.
