Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Betty and Billy rescued Walter from the pound, they never imagined that such a cute dog was capable of such unpleasant and frequent smells — Walter passes gas constantly! But just when the dog seems destined to be returned to the pound, a remarkable event turns him into a hero, and his new family learns to live with his smells. Review:"Is there any reason to purchase this, besides the fact that kids will find it hysterical? The dialog is clever, and the art is quite ingenious. Seemingly computer-conceived characters — including Walter complete with a permanently abashed expression — are unique efforts, as are the smoothly colored backgrounds. All in all, it's a gas." Booklist Review:"Kotzwinkle and education writer Murray know their audience. Their simple strategy just keep saying 'fart' should have children rolling in the aisles during read-aloud....Yes, this lowbrow endeavor could be a crowd-pleaser but, like its topic, its disruptive effects will tend to linger." Publishers Weekly Synopsis:This story is set in a realistic ordinary family, and deals with ideas and attitudes about pets. The overarching theme is how one discusses with a young child "passing gas" - a new concept to very young children. It carries the message that we can all be heroes, whatever our quirks and habits.
