OK, I'll admit that my motives for buying "Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale" were less than pure: Sure, I sent it to my three nephews with instructions for the oldest boy to read it to the two younger boys. But I really bought it just to annoy my sister-in-law. Of course I would never dream of sending these precious children anything I hadn't personally checked out…so I read "Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale" practically the moment it arrived. And I laughed myself silly! This is the rare children's book that will amuse the grown-ups as much it does the kids. Providing the grown-ups have a fairly sophomoric sense of humor, that is, which I do. The illustrations are delightfully hilarious, and the language is simple enough that kids will want to learn to read this on their own. I'll spare you a lengthy rundown of the plot. Suffice it to say that it includes clowns, a yard sale, bank robbers, a bad dad, and the inimitable fart-catcher, not to mention the ever-heroic (and farting) Walter and his youthful owners. What more could you possibly need for an entertaining and suspenseful read? I paid all of $1 for my nephews' copy of "Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale", but I'm willing to go considerably higher if necessary to acquire the rest of the series for my young relatives. My sister-in-law is gonna plotz!Read full review
I bought this book for my 5 year old granddaughter and she LOVES it. She wouldn't sit still long enough to read before, but since we all know that farts are funny, Walter has shown her that reading can be fun! Book is silly and fun without being vulgar and I highly recommend it to all. For extra giggles, you can also buy the Walter the Farting Dog plush toy, which makes a noise when you squeeze his belly that is certain to keep your child entertained for hours.
Great deal on this book. My six year old loved this series of books.
