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.
