I thought that this book was hilarious! I found my self laughing out loud a couple of times. I think I would definitely have this series in my classroom library. The only controversial thing I found in the book is the word farting. It was a very cute story and I think that students would really enjoy it and the other books in the series as well. The story was about Billy and Betty and their dog Walter that they adopted from the pound. Walter smells awful, so their mom tells them to give him a bath. The bath didn't help at all, Walter had a farting problem. Billy and Betty's dad was going to make them return Walter to the pound, but the night before he was supposed to go back Walter farted and helped catch two burglars who were trying to steal from Billy and Betty's family. Their dad decided to let Walter stay since he rescued the day!
I know that it isn't polite for students or anyone really to walk around and talk about farting, but I think that students would really enjoy this series and if it's books like this that make them want to read then I don't see a problem with them reading them. I think the authors and illustrator both did an amazing job in this book. The font the authors used was great and the way the illustrator did the pictures was a lot of fun. It wasn't your ordinary everyday book and I think that students would enjoy it as much as I did!
