my niece (3 yrs) and nephews (2 and 6) had that book over Thanksgiving. have you seen it? you point the wand at the characters and it makes voices or disgusting noises. I mean, it was funny, but do you think it is crude to teach kids that farts are funny?

they will grow up to post on message boards about bodily functions

    It's very important to teach kids that farts are funny because: farts are funny.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I thought that book was so hilarious, I bought myself a copy. Was going to give it to my nephew, but it's too damn funny! The burgler passes out from the dog's gas!

    The co-author Glen Murray is from my home province, New Brunswick, Canada. Good to hear someone from a small town is making it big with a children's book and now a movie to boot.
    Keep on rockin'!

    Pull my finger.
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    As the parent of 3 kids, I'd have to agree with this statement. Even my 18 month old thinks farts are hilarious.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'

    whilst I teach my son to say pardon we always laugh around it as well, it's got to the point now where he squeezes out a silent one and gives me a coy smile and asks if I heard anything.:)

    He needs to learn the art of the SBD....Silent But Deadly. Remember to teach him that a fart can be appreciated by more than one sense.

    Considering I suffered at the hands of puritanical Catholic cunts in my schooldays, I think this book should be compulsory reading on every syllabus.

    Why do farts smell? So deaf people can enjoy them too.

    Product Description
    Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe are enjoying their seaside vacation . . . until a certain dog blows away their umbrella with an enormous fart. Before long, Walter is banned from the beach. While stuck inside the beach house, Walter snacks on a sack of strange-looking tropical fruit labeled Cook Thoroughly. Meanwhile, Betty and Billy hunt for treasure out on a sandbar. As soon as they find a nickel, Mr. and Mrs. Crabbe elbow their way in. All four get marooned during high tide. Will Walter hear their cries for help? And why did that tropical fruit have to be thoroughly cooked?

    I once was told the truth of what a fart actually is. Nothing more than a turd honking for right of way!

    I love Walter the Farting Dog. We are a family that has to have rules like "no farting at the dinner table" though.
