Walter the Farting Dog
This book, by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray, is the apex of a certain type of subversive kid's book that busts up our four and six year old. At the heart of its subversion, it makes Mom or Dad say "fart" about twenty-seven times before the light in the kids' room goes off. It is perhaps the sort of book that creates two classes of people and, in a better world, would be a generally accepted gift for all occassions and a coffee table regular.

Kids love that sort of thing. My son just loves Zombie Butt from Uranus! LOL

In case you're wondering where do they go from here, if your kids are anything like mine, Captain Underpants is in your future. We've got nine of the titles, including Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets, my personal fave.
If it wasn't for this series (by Dav Pilkey) they'd both still be reading Mercer Mayer's Little Critter books, I'm convinced of it. Mike's on to bigger and better things, but he still won't let me garage sale his Captain Underpants books.
