    Synopsis

    In this hilarious children's tale, the Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village keeps his city free from evil with a single blast of blinding blue intestinal gas.

    Barkwater Village is a sleepy seaside community with its share of smiling faces and sunshine. Cloudy skies are few and chronic cursing is not allowed. The village also has the lowest crime rate in the county and remains a regular rest stop for sightseers trying to catch a whiff of a suspicious smelling smoke that supposedly circles the city's skyline each and every evening at exactly six o'clock.

    Barkwater is a caring, pet-friendly community with bunches of bulldogs, Boston terriers, and bloodhounds. But there's only one Blue Smoker.

    Booter Pooter, son of the former Blue Smoker, Super Pooter, has a dog-given gift inherited from his father -- the uncanny ability to clear any room with his super stinky stench. Following a freak farting fiasco, Booter is officially declared the Blue Smoker, and Super Pooter's stinky successor seeks to successfully smoke out any and all evil in Barkwater Village.

    December 05, 2007: Drop into Barkwater Village and visit with a dog named Booter. But, bring a clothespin. You'll need it. Booter is something of a local hero, but to find out why, you'll have to read the story. A fun read for children that parents will also enjoy. Talented author Annette Burget Bailey combines an unusual dog with an unusual town and creates a place we will long remember. It's something in the air. Recommended as a story kids and adults will enjoy, a timeless tale that will be enjoyed by the generations to come. Enjoy. I did (and I'm way past being a child).

    August 08, 2006: The Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village may be a short book, but the plot and cast of critters is long on entertainment. Booter Pooter is a likable, yet not-so 'houndsome' mutt that transforms into stinky superhero, the Blue Smoker every evening at exactly six o'clock. Meanwhile, the supporting canine cast is equally amusing -- beautiful Boston terrier Brianna Brice, English bulldog 'Not-So-Bad-Dog' Butch Butterman, and German shepherd 'Top Cop' Sergeant Shepherd also add childlike humor with a touch of adult-laced sophistication to the muttly mix. The author has an engaging writing style, not to mention a keen use of alliteration and subtle word play that is very amusing to children but equally enjoyable to parents. A fun, fun read for the whole family! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
