9. Walter the Farting Dog


By: William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray
Illustrated by: Audrey Colman
Overall, there's not much to say about a book in which the plot is fully explored in the title alone.
Walter is a dog. He farts. He is a farting dog.
The artist does a great job populating Walter's world with peculiar looking people, and rich textural backgrounds.
We just received this book as a donation to our library. I'm so glad that our kids are exposed to stuff like this.
Don't read sarcasm into that last statement- I wish I had this kind of thing when I was a kid.
