Walter the Farting Dog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter the Farting Dog is a series of children's books by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray, and illustrated by Audrey Colman. All the books in the series star Walter and his many adventures. In 2007 the fifth book in the series, Walter the Farting Dog: Banned From the Beach, was released. Beginning with the third title, Rough Weather Ahead for Walter the Farting Dog, Elizabeth Gundy (wife of Kotzwinkle) has appeared as a co-author, but in fact, she has been part of "Team Walter" since the very first adventure. A plush toy version of Walter, with predictable sound-effects when squeezed, is marketed along with the books by MerryMakers Inc. The original Walter story is now available in more than a dozen languages, including French, Spanish, Dutch, Icelandic, Norwegian, Korean, Japanese, and Latin.
