A True Must Read (AMR) – Walter the Farting Dog



Welcome back book worms and readers! This will be a reoccurring section of this blog…books I love. Other than http://DeadRitasWisdom.com

AMR 2


Through the simplest of messages come profound ideas. No. Not flatulence. This first book in the series appeared in our home a few years ago when our granddaughter gave her grandfather, aka Pappy, aka John, the first book for Father's Day. I was dismayed at the title – tooting is just not something I embrace. But the grand kids and John roared as she read the book aloud to him.


Walter has a problem with back end blow outs and this book is all about his adventures. The underlying message is that this series is for everyone who has ever felt misjudged or misunderstood. For you must understand, Walter's bottom burps occur when he is happy – or using his unusual power to save the day.


Beautifully written and illustrated, a real toot, I mean HOOT, to read:


Titles include but are not limited to:

  • Walter the Farting Dog
  • Walter the Farting Dog Farts Again!
  • Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale
  • Rough Weather Ahead for Walter the Farting Dog
  • AND EVEN ONE IN LATIN: Walter Canis Inflatus (because they farted in Roman times too)

There are others in the series which I also own. There's a plushy with sound effects. Which I don't own.


Authors: William Katzwinkle and Glenn Murray – Illustrated by Audrey Colman
