slow delivery
The book is fine, although it was in paperback, which I was unaware of when I ordered it. It did take over 3 weeks to deliver it, and it was folded in a soft manila envelope, which left a crease in the middle of the book. Poor delivery time and poor packaging led to an undesirable experience.
The worst kids book ever
I also can't believe this book was published. It is the worst children's book ever. I would've given zero stars, if it were possible. While I agree that a book about a farting dog might be funny to kids, especially boys, this one is not remotely funny. Also teaches kids poor lessons about selling your family dog because he smells bad. My kids were given a copy of this book but I tossed it in my recycle bin. It's such a horrible book, I wouldn't even give it away.
I can't believe this was published
My professor in my Teaching With Children's Books class read us this book as an example of "make sure you read a book yourself before you read it to kids because it might not be what you thought." While I spent the whole time laughing until I almost cried, it was because the book was just so awful that I can't believe it was ever published. The story was just so insane that I had to share it with my friends. I told them all about it. If these are supposed to have a moral, no one got it because they were so busy laughing at the farting and the fart catching machine.
This book might be so hilariously bad that I enjoyed hearing it. Still, I have to say I would never read this to a child. I have a hard time believing that this book is as acclaimed as the back of it claims to be.
Offensive
I bought this book for a good friend's of mine child without seeing the book. It is not appropriate for children. Though it looks like a fun, funny, cartoon book for kids, it is not and not something I would read to my children.
The name says it all
I expected something goofy, that would make the kids laugh like the Captain Underpants series. But this book had a stupid story, and the pictures were so ugly! The kids really were not impressed with it, so it will be going to our yardsale this year!
