If you don't mind talking about farting, which take an ongoing occurance in my house, this book is a cute one to have.
I found it predictable. I can see people's objections about farting and the storyline, that didn't get me so much as the illustrations. I'm surprised it's a best seller.I'm glad I checked this book out from the library and didn't buy it. One reviewer said they look like mutated zombies and I agree. All the people's skin was green and they had bizarre expressions on their face.To set the record straight, they tried to get this book published for 10 years so it was probably not a knock off, but I'm not surprised the story hasn't been done before. I definitely don't plan on showing it to my children. The illustrations are just too disturbing.
This is a very good book, for both kids and adults. Everybody farts. It helps kids to understand that while everybody farts, there is a time and place for farting to be appropriate. It is a big hit in my daughter's fifth grade class.
We bought the plush toy along with the book. as we read the book to the kids (age 4) they can see, and hear, Walter in action :)they love it.
Enough. It's a great story. Come on, my son's kindergarten teacher read it to them in class. We have all of the titles and I'll buy more. Get over yourselves and read it for what it is. A dog who farts and has a family who loves him. The boy likes to add his own farting noises when we read.via his mouth mind you.no one can fart that much on command, can they. Wonderful book.
