Product Description

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-In this second far-fetched tale about Walter, neighbors have been avoiding the yard-sale table where Walter has been sitting all day. Unbelievably, Father wonders why! Yet he doesn't hesitate to sell the pup to the first man who stops by to inquire. The new owner, a clown, intends to use Walter for a bank heist by fastening him to a "fart-catcher" in order to inflate balloons with his obnoxious-smelling gas. As the clown pops the balloons in the bank, customers and bank tellers are overcome with the stench. When the perp arrives home with the sack of money, he lights a cigar and is launched across the room because of a gas leak. Walter runs out the door toward his former home, and the police follow the trail of $100 bills fluttering behind him. As they try to arrest Walter, he leads them back to the real culprit. Pages are busy with digital illustrations that give an olive green pallor to the human skin tone and a garish look to the clown. For those who appreciated the lowbrow, tasteless humor of the first book, this one provides much more of the same.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA

From Booklist

K-Gr. 3. Yes, Walter is back, as gassy as ever. This time, he is at a yard sale, but Father doesn't sell anything, because Walter drives away the customers. Then a man wants to know if Walter is for sale, and while the children, Betty and Billy, are away, Dad makes the deal. The new owner takes Walter home and hooks him up to a "fart catcher," blowing up balloons, which the man assures Walter will be used at a children's party, where he works as a clown. "'Well, at least it's for the children,' thought Walter, who farted." But it's not! The clown, who is really a robber, bursts the balloons in a bank, and the odor is so bad that the loot is readily given up. A few twists, turns, and farts later, things work out fine. This has the same gross humor as the previous book and even more inventive illustrations, a mix of collage and computer-generated art. In fact, there's so much to see in the pictures, children can look and laugh for hours. Don't muzzle Walter--at either end. Ilene Cooper

2.0 out of 5 stars Loses the first book.s sweet spirit, Jul 12 2004

By	Mary G. Longorio "Texasbookgirl" (Eagle Mountain, UT) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Walter The Farting Dog Trouble At The Yard Sale (Hardcover)

From the moment Dad sells Walter at the garage sale without so much as a second thought, this book heads down the wrong path. It does not have the goofy sweet spirit of the first book. The kids I read it to were really upset that not only Dad sold the dog, but he lies without even a blink. Boo Hiss!

This review is from: Walter The Farting Dog Trouble At The Yard Sale (Hardcover)

I was disappointed in this book
"Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale" doesn't stack up to the first book Walter the Farting Dog. If I read this book before buying it I would have not bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walter, Canus Inflatus, Jun 10 2004

By	takingadayoff "takingadayoff" (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Walter The Farting Dog Trouble At The Yard Sale (Hardcover)

I ran across the first two Walter books while I was at the mall waiting for my husband to finish looking at every single DVD in stock (there must have been thousands.) So I had plenty of time to read both books. I loved them!

I rarely have occasion to look at childrens' books, so I was a bit surprised at the title. It's a far cry from Wishbone and Clifford the Big Red Dog. But this is a very funny book. Yes, it's lowbrow and coarse. So are the Three Stooges and most children. And behind their sophisticated, mature exteriors, so are most adults. So relax and enjoy this well-written (by William Kotzwinkle, author of E.T.) story of a stray dog whose family loves him even with his one major flaw. Find out how Walter triumphs despite being sold at the family yard sale to an evil clown who uses Walter to inflate putrid balloons to use as weapons during a bank robbery.

And for those over-educated lowbrows among you, check out the Latin translation (really!), Walter, Canus Inflatus.

5.0 out of 5 stars a dog lover's special
If you don't have a sense of humor, don't buy this book. If you want to laugh outloud, buy it. If you're a dog person, you'll want to buy copies for your friends.
