49 months - It's a dog that farts... Of course it's a hit with the kids. ( )

I can't say that I really loved this book but I want to read books that are out of my normal reading comfort zone and this one came highly recommended from my six year old nephew. I didn't find it very funny but I think I would have to read it aloud to see how younger children appreciate the humour.

A gross humor book for kids. If you can get over the idea of saying fart over and over you'll love this book. Walter is aboard a cruise ship and cannot maintain his bodily functions. His farts smell so bad that they send him to the lower deck and even further on a little lifeboat behind the big cruiser. Although he is treated with much disrespect, Walter shows great personal confidence and does not lose face throughout the book. Ending up the savior, he farts enough to power the boat and becomes the hero. ( )

A very funny book that features Walter, the farting dog. On the cruise ship, an odor spreads throughout and Walter is the culprit. He is sent down below in the ship to sit with the stinky cheeses, but eventually placed in a lifeboat to trail the ship, because he stinks so bad. The ship loses power and Walter, the ship, and all it's passenger are stuck in the high waves. But Walter found a way to save the day by eating and digesting the stinky cheese. The humor is this book's biggest strength.

Walter the farting dog has a slight but horrible gas problem that he cannot control. He and his owner family go on a cruise and his owners take him to the pet area on the ship. Because of Walter's gas problem, he is kicked out and put on a life boat behind the ship. Walter tries to control his gas as hard as he can.The ship then has mechanical problems and stuck at sea. When Walter finally cannot control his gas, he then propels the ship forward.
