Book Reviews of The Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village
Book Review: A funny little book for children of all ages!
Summary: 4 Stars
Title: The Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village
Author: Annette Burget Bailey
Barkwater is a sleepy seaside village filled with interesting four legged characters. The town is unique in that everyday at 6 o'clock sharp, a strange blue, extremely smelly smoke descends over the village. Wherever the strange stench originates, it seems to have a definite affect on criminals-they don't like it and the town remains crime free.
This little book and its interesting characters will entertain your children night after night. Although the entire book seems to be about flatulence, as a parent and grandparent; I realize that this is a very amusing topic for children.
Children will cheer when Booter Pooter transforms into superhero, Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village. The characters names are funny appealing to little people. Although I am not sure that very young children will associate the play on words in parts of the book i.e.: DNN's Barry Bing and the Bellen Bebeneres show, older children will find this amusing. The author's use of poetic consonance throughout the book gives it happy rhyming appeal. i.e.: "I'm Briana Brice of the Boston Backed Beans brood, a bona-fide blueblood."
Author, Annette Burget Bailey is the author of Blonde Ambition, Postmortem and Definition Murder. This is her first children's book.

Summary of The Blue Smoker of Barkwater Village
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.
