I laughed when I first saw this book because my dog has the worst gas (farts) in the world. They will run you out of the room. Also he likes to sleep at the bottom of our bed until we go to sleep and then he gets into bed with his butt facing my way and his head at the end of the bed. Then he starts, and oh my! You wake up to this awful smell, but I love him anyway and wouldn't trade him for the world.
The pictures are wonderful, although they are printed flat on the page, they look they are floating right off the page, and it's so much fun to notice all the details. This one of the best picture book it has lots of small details that I didn't notice the first time through, but the more I read it  the more I started noticing the picture on the wall, the curtain blowing in Walter's wind and the expressions on the characters' faces. 
I might use this in the class but I would have to think long and hard. I might would even read it to my colleagues to see what they would think first. I definitely  will have it to read to my grand children if I ever have any.
