I order both Walter the farting dog: Trouble at the yard sale AND Walter the farting dog:Farts again, they are the same exact book!!!!
I was highly disappointed.

Please beware of this book! It is a very good book, BUT there are two exact books, the only difference being the title. I bought both of these books for my grandchildren, a boy and a girl, and was very disappointed to find out there were the same book. The titles are: Walter the Farting Dog Farts Again, and, Walter the Farting Dog, Trouble at the Yardsale.

I bought the whole set for my great neices. These books are a real laugh to read and listen to. Crazy humor and illustrations. We just love Walter.

Too bad giving no stars isn't an option. When I named my son Walter in 2008, I had never heard of this series of books. I thought the name to be very distinguished and, even better, virtually unassailable (not to mention that Walter was the name of a dear family friend). That it was a name that would be difficult to make fun of was important to me as I endured a lot of ridicule in school for my own name. (Who hasn't heard of "Charlotte's Web"? - Ah, but at least that book had some literary merit.) It seems to me incredibly unfortunate that the authors could not have chosen a name for their farting dog that no child would ever be named. Perhaps Rover... or even Kotzwinkle instead? Any author that lacks the COMMON SENSE to foresee how this book will impact a generation of Walters going through elementary school deserves a good boycott. If you have already bought these books, do my son and all the other Walters at your kid's school a favor and shred it. It would make a good compost...at least then this series of books might do some good. What an incredibly hateful thing to do so many little children!

Ideal for anyone who likes Walter the Farting dog and isn't deterred by a predictable plot.
