Coulee News - News: Publisher defends dog farting book
Grossinger [publisher at North Atlantic] said the book's depiction in words and colorful drawings of a dog farting didn't strike him as being a problem. He also pointed out the existence of another popular children's book recently published called "Everyone Poops."
"I don't think it's obscene in any sense," Grossinger said of "Walter." "Not in today's world."
Grossinger said the word "fart" "has passed from being taboo to pretty normal." But the fact that "it's still ever-so-slightly taboo" has, he believes, helped it sell so well. "It's just bad enough" to generate interest, he said.
