An immensely popular series of children'
s books written by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray with illustrations by
Audrey Colman. Walter is an
ugly but lovable mutt rescued from the dog pound by two warm-hearted children. However, Walter has a problem, he is constantly farting the most ghastly farts one has ever smelled, which almost send him back to the pound until he proves his worth by foiling a couple of house-breakers with his awful gas.
The Walter franchaise has five entries thus far: "Walter the Farting
Dog," "Trouble at the Yard Sale," "Rough Weather Ahead For Walter the Farting
Dog," "Walter the Farting
Dog Goes on a Cruise," and "Walter the Farting
Dog Banned From the Beach." All have made it on the New York Times Bestseller List.
Each time a new Walter the Farting
Dog book comes out, we gather around at bedtime and I
read about Walter's newest exploits it to my excited children, as they make wonderful bedtime stories.
