Walter the Farting Dog
Walter the Farting Dog | William Kotzwinkle, Glenn Murray
16 posts | 13 read | 3 to read
Warning: This book may cause flatulence. Walter is a fine dog, except for one small problem: he has gas. He can't help it; it's just the way he is. Fortunately, the kids Billy and Betty love him regardless, but Father says he's got to go! Poor Walter, he's going to the dog pound tomorrow. And then, in the night, burglars strike. Walter has his chance to be a hero. A children's beloved classic, this story will have kids rolling on the floor with laughter. Adults are permitted to laugh too. From the Hardcover edition.

Heard about this banned book on BookTok. When I tell you I was in tears reading this to my son 🤣 This one gets 5 Farts from me 😎 💨💨💨💨💨

Also first book of #20in4. I am actually going to try to get 20 hours instead of making my own goals this time.

Ruthiella Five farts! That made me chuckle 🤭 1y
JoeMo Ten-year anniversary?? 😂 It makes sense as I remember reading that to my nephew seven or so years ago. I remember it cracking him up and me wondering why young kiddos loved relatively weak fart jokes so much!! 1y
MatchlessMarie @Ruthiella 😜 @JoeMo I know! I saw that too and was like why haven‘t I ever seen this before? I‘m in my 30s and I think I like them as much as my 11 year old 😅 but it was really the illustrations that put it over the top 1y
MicheleinPhilly Banned??? Can‘t have kids reading about farts. Oh no, their poor innocent minds! 🙄 1y

When your 4 year old grandson wants you to read him a bedtime book over Zoom, what‘s better than a farting dog 😃 #ilovemygrandkids #glammagramma #grammaslibrary #suckitcoronavirus

LibrarianRyan I love this entire series! 4y
Sleepswithbooks Yeeees!! I bought Walter books for my nephew when he was small and a plush Walter 🥰 4y
jewright My first grade son is obsessed with farts. Do you think a first grader could read this book? 4y
Djspens @jewright he might need a little help, but it‘s a cute book! 4y

5 🌟
This book came out 18 years ago, and I have to say, it still holds up. I know many children‘s librarians were confused by my love of this wonderful pup, but I can't help it. Maybe he reminds me of my past and present stinky dogs, maybe he reminds me of a few family members, but I am not ashamed to say I love Walter the Farting Dog and all his adventures. About the only thing that dates this book is the reference to the VHS player.

IamIamIam And then along came Dav Pilkey and librarians realized kids love toilet humor, LOL! This is a classic! 4y
Come-read-with-me @LibrarianRyan These books make me laugh! Walter is such an unexpected hero! Such a great series! 4y

Mehso-so

I liked Walter and I can definitely get why my kids think this book is hilarious but it‘s just not my thing- not my preferred art style either. And since I have no picture for this book I‘ll just put a pic of my own rescued pup.

Thank you Sherri for the tag! Xx😚

1. Grandparents/aunts/uncles all called me Skinny Minny as a child, husband teases calling me woman (started when we were dating) but usually calls me honey & my grandkids call me Mimi.
2. Tagged. A super cute, funny story I bought for the grandkids (they love it!) 👍🏻😉
3. Reviews, no - hype, yes.
4. Love seeing pretty covers but isn‘t too important.
5. I tag anyone!

Eggs Awww Mimi🥰 Thanks for playing Tammy 5y
tammysue @Eggs Yw, I have a lot of fun with these! ;) Not been on here very much lately as I‘m trying to get the house interior painted, been working on the landscaping, etc. Today‘s the grandkids last day of school so I‘ll have them all summer (and I‘m sure I‘ll have four little extra hands to help me!! 😂) 5y

Not bookish. Waiting for the coffee to kick in before I walk him, Igrec decided my ears needed cleaning. He moved to the other one as I type this.

We picked this up when my in-laws went on a cruise and my daughter loved it. A funny story about a farting dog who stinks up the cruise ship. The art is vibrant but the way the faces were drawn is a little creepy.

vkois88 It reminds me of Angela Anaconda from Nickelodeon back in the say lol 6y

Chellebearss @vkois88 ha! Yes, just as creepy. Like the story though :) 6y

The folks at @bookriot had a fun article about book dogs but once again the best book dog was not mentioned, namely William Kotzwinkle's Walter the Farting Dog. Best. Book. Dog. Ever!

Has anyone read this book? I had never seen this book before, but I took a trip to the local book shop tonight and found it. I laughed so loud, so if you were the few in #gramercybooks tonight, I apologize for how obnoxious I was, I couldn't stop laughing. I'm looking forward to giving this to my niece. I can't wait to see my sister in law be uncomfortable as she reads it, haha!
#lowbrowhumor

britt_brooke My 4 year old has wanted this one the last 3 nights in a row before bed. It's so funny until the whole burglar thing. I don't wanna freak my kid out so we just bumble through that part. But the rest is gold. 😆👍🏻 7y
Zelma It used to be popular at the library. (edited) 7y
LeahBergen It's awesome! My nephew loved it (and the sequels). 7y
Reviewsbylola I love Gramercy. Such a great addition to the neighborhood. And I'm sure my kids would love this. 😂 7y

beagle.mama I have a stuffed Walter in my classroom. Nothing makes middle school boys with autism laugh more than toots. 💜 7y
britt_brooke @beagle.mama So cute! 💕 Toots are hilarious. 😁 7y
LeahBergen I bought these for my nephew when he was little and he was CRAZY about them. You'll have to get the sequels! 7y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Yes! I saw there are several of them. 👍🏻👍🏻 7y
Hooked_on_books Oh I have one of those! (A farting dog, not this book. He farts audibly. I didn't know dogs did that.) 7y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books ??? Our dog does sometimes, but he's mostly "silent, but deadly." (edited) 7y
