I'm in a class with a group of people that have never taught before, they all want to teach high school language arts. On the day we were to discuss Picture books - yay! picture books! I was excited by the prospect of this group of people being able to re-discover and discover some great books that can be really awesome for readers of any age. Lying father, evil clown, poor Walter is a captive and the illustrations were a bit disturbing. Unfortunately there is not much of a positive lesson in this book.

On the brink of being sent to the dog pound, Walter’s unexpected asset turns into his superpower when burglars break in.

I am not a fan of bathroom humor, nor does humor that would curl the toes of an average 9 year old boy do much for me, but ................... I do love dogs and poor Walter won me over.

Walter the Farting Dog: A Triumphant Toot and Timeless

I read this to the kids subsituting the word "tooting" for "farting" - on the direction of their parents. I think we should go ahead and call a fart a fart, but I'm only the aunt, so I go along. The illustrations are really weird, some sort of mixed-media digital mish-mash by the look of it. But the expressions on Walter's face are pretty funny. Combined with the text... well, I couldn't not laugh. In this book, Walter helps foil a would-be thief's dastardly plot to rob banks. No one is expecting his stink bombs to be able to take out grown men with a single whiff, but they do. In the end, the family realizes what makes a family a family, and even dad learns to appreciate Walter just the way he is. I'm a voracious reader from North Carolina currently traveling the United States with my husband and reviewing books as the mood strikes. I'll read almost anything--contemporary fiction, the classics, fantasy, historical fiction, horror, adult, young adult, middle grade... If it looks like an interesting story, I'm game!

Well it's a children's book, and silly as hell, and all I can say is that it made me laugh so hard that other people were looking at me like they thought I was nuts. When you put this cute story together with the wildly original artwork by Audrey Colman, you get an irresistible book that is as hilarious as it is touching… As well as being quite amusing… Walter the Farting Dog has a good message and illustrations that will make all readers smile.” Fernandez, Jay A. (August 5, 2011). " 'Hop' Director Tim Hill in Talks to Direct 'Walter the Farting Dog' ". The Hollywood Reporter. As much as we might hate to admit it (and smell it), dog farts are a normal biological function in dogs — and humans, let’s be honest. Farts are the natural result of the surprising amount of air that is swallowed just with the simple act of eating. We explore why dogs fart so much and whether there’s anything you can do to reduce the stink. Why does my dog fart so much?

A new report finds that one in three dogs and one in seven cats have unhealthy levels of E. coli present in their gut microbiome. Kotzwinkle and education writer Murray know their audience. Their simple strategy – just keep saying ‘fart’– should have children rolling in the aisles during read-aloud… Colman specializes in reaction shots; in her surreal collages of photos and patterns, people hold their noses and a cat glances at the culprit.” Another frequent source of dog farts is dietary fiber. Dietary fiber in pet food can cause a dog to fart as it is not easily digested by its own enzyme systems. Fiber is easily digested by the gas-producing bacteria that live in the colon. As fiber is broken down here, hydrogen sulfide is produced, which is the cause of the really stinky gases. Therefore, a diet that is heavy in fiber further promotes a “happy environment” as well as “food” for the bacteria, ultimately producing more gas and more farts. The books have been criticized by some as an example of "poop fiction" for children (in the same vein as titles such as Captain Underpants and Zombie Bums from Uranus); they have been subjected to occasional complaints and attempts to have the books withdrawn from libraries, and some librarians and bookstores have refused to carry the series. On the other hand, librarians (and others) have credited the books with effectively attracting young readers who might otherwise be hard to reach. [1] [7] [8] [9] [10] In addition, many copies have been sold to adults. [11] White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten reportedly kept the book in his office as a "conversation-starter". [12]The clown ends up being a bank robber who lies to Walter saying he is blowing up balloons for a good cause - children - but is really planning a bank heist. Walter is fed beans and his farts fill up the balloons with a gas that is unleashed during the heist on the unsuspecting bank customers. You will either love it or hate it. I hated it. I'm not a prude; I can sometimes appreciate potty humor. However, Trouble at the Yard Sale features such a cast of completely unsympathetic characters that I find nothing redeeming to say about this book. The father is a bastard who sells the family dog while the kids are off buying ice cream, then he lies and tells them the dog ran away. The guy he sold their dog to is an evil clown/crook who straps the dog into a "fart capturing machine" so that he can fill balloons that he then takes to the bank and pops, enabling him to rob the bank.
