The story centers around Booter Pooter and his knack for preventing crime by emitting a blinding blue gas or as the more prudish would say, passing gas.

After the reader accepts the usage of fart and farting, he is presented with an entertaining story.

The play on words is clever. For example, a seasonal sightseer is named Ralph Rotten and the following paragraph is a delightful play on words:

                While I waited for a wonderful family to whisk me away, I worked tirelessly at cultivating
                my canine common sense, and enrolled in correspondence classes at Pet State University, with a
                minor in Lassie Literature. I received my Barkers of Arf degree, graduating Summa Cum Canine,
                top dog in my class.

This is a book young boys would go wild for - if they could get their hands on it, and some girls would venture a read to see what those naughty boys are up to.

The word fart is considered vulgar in some circles, but that aside, judging the book on its merit as a children’s story, it is a success. I loved it, and I’m just a little boy at heart.

As for Booter Pooter and his gang, dog bless their souls.
