Walter the Farting Dog
Dedicated to everyone who's ever felt misjudged or misunderstood…
The saga of the rejected mutt who becomes a hero mirrors the publishing history of this book, which was rejected for eleven years before tooting to the top of the bestseller lists.
In his first adventure, poor Walter is on the brink of being sent back to the dog pound when he proves himself to be a winner.
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING
“... should have children rolling in the aisles during read-aloud.”
“Spending at least 75 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List, WALTER THE FARTING DOG is a delightful children’s book with a title that elicits giggles that continue throughout the book… if you look a little deeper into its content, perhaps there is more to be learned from Walter. Maybe some of those little imperfections that make kids feel different are really things to be proud of. Maybe even some of the unpleasant things about us can work in our favor.”
“Hailed by kids and grown-ups alike… Walter, a loveable and preternaturally gaseous canine, has brought dog flatulence (and as a result, flatulence in general) to the fore like never before.”
“An irresistible book that is as hilarious as it is touching… a good message and illustrations that will make all readers smile.”
“This children’s book is a delight.”
“To every parent, teacher, or librarian who enjoys having on hand for children books that are a little subversive, please add Walter the Farting Dog to your collection… gives readers and listeners a chance to indulge in what is usually an off-limits topic, one of those things that everybody does but which all are supposed to disavow any knowledge of.”
“Is there any reason to purchase this, besides the fact that kids will find it hysterical? The dialog is clever...and the art is quite ingenious... All in all, it’s a gas.”
“Walter, with all his gassy baggage, is a breath of fresh air.”
