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?

Funny - Kids love it,
By Jimmy (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walter The Farting Dog: Banned From the Beach (Hardcover)
If you have a problem coaxing your kids to read - Walter comes to the rescue. While being funny (all kids think the subject matter is funny) it is also a book that teaches kids a lesson about acceptance of those with minor flaws.

This review is from: Walter The Farting Dog: Banned From the Beach (Hardcover)
This book, one of a series, is absolutely wonderful for four to six- year-olds. They are all at the bodily functions stage of self-interest, and this book is howlingly funny.
Also, whilst they are giggling, the stories teach them moral values, ethics and the importance of good behaviour. Our little girl, five years old, never wearies of being read, and reading her Walter books, and of squeezing her fleecy Walter the Farting Dog ! HIGHLY recommended.

This review is from: Walter the Farting Dog: Banned from the Beach (Paperback)
Just OK. I thought it would be more clever. 4-year old enjoyed it a little more since she had just gotten the plush Walter for her birthday.
