Yes, my dad bought the book and toy dog for my nephew this past Christmas. 8-year-old Dylan ran up to me with the farting Walter stuffed toy and held it up so I could hear it pass gas.

The teacher wouldn't read it? Lame. Heaven forbid if the children find reading "fun".

There's a whole series of Walter books and they're prominently displayed in Barnes and Noble! He has 3, I know that one is "Walter the Farting Dog Goes On a Cruise".

You know, the whole picture-taking thing (re: the gymnastics picture) is a boy-girl thing too. You know how in a yearbook, the girls' teams--no matter how tough they are--are all grinning hugely and the boys are all scowling--so as to scare opponents, I guess. One of my favorite high school yearbook pictures is of last year's football team:all the guys are scowling fiercely and the kicker (a girl who scored lots of extra points for this region-winning 4A team) is smiling beautifully.
