smiles 0 #1 April 23, 2004 If you happen to have the chance to read to a child- or around kids learning to read....this book rawks!! Humour and the "f-word" -- fart-- may initially attract children to the Walter the Farting Dog books. Co author is Murray. "Kids love scatological detail and bodily functions, Walter has an extra charm, I think, and a message of acceptance and tolerance and making the best of a bad situation." The books tell the story of the titular pooch and the troubles he gets into because of his uncontrollable and unpleasant bodily function. In the end, however, Walter always saves the day. Printed in a dozen languages, the book raced up the New York Times Children's Bestsellers list. SMiles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvfd1399 0 #2 April 23, 2004 I wish I could have became famous writing books about a farting dog. I have many stories, just insert dog in place of friends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #4 April 23, 2004 This type of book just perpetuates the stereotype that it's the dogs fault. When are we going to accept that it is the women with a broccoli-fetish? Those darned vegetarians are out there fogging the room and then blaming the innocent dog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been saying for years that this is the only reason that chic's get a dog in the first place. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
