Will Stink s sneakers be foul enough to win the Golden Clothespin Award?Children's LiteratureReaders will welcome the return of Judy Moody's younger brother, Stink, in his own popular series. This book is a positive orgy of stinkdom, and a treat for smelly-obsessed second and third graders. When Mrs. D's second grade class plans a visit to the Gross-Me-Out exhibit at the science museum, it is Stink's fantasy field trip and he can't wait! With his buddies Webster and Sophie of the Elves in attendance, Stink emerges as class hero as a result of his amazing ability to detect odors. When one of the judges of the Stinky Sneaker contest gets sick, Stink is chosen to take his place and, luckily, picks friend Sophie's sneakers as the winners of the Golden Clothespin Award. Amusing cartoon illustrations, large type with plenty of white space, and much repetition of the words stink and smelly in all their possible configurations gear this book to newly emerging readers, especially to fans of Horrible Harry and Marvin Redpost. A wealth of sometimes bizarre information about smells is included. Who knew that there's a special person who smells things before they go on space ships to eliminate anything too stinky? Teddy bears are out. Parents beware: Stink may inspire an epidemic of spin-off smelly sneaker contests. This book will not stay on the store shelves long.
