One of the teachers I worked closely with mentioned once that she had been reading "Stinky Face" stories to her son before bed. She recommended the books to me, so I was excited to give this one a try. I was not disappointed.Stinky Face is a boy with a vivid imagination. In this book, Stinky Face's mom is trying to put him to bed. As many little kids do, he decides he is not yet ready to bed and tries his hand at stalling. He happens to do a great job. Stinky Face comes up with funny situations to test his mother's love - and perhaps to see how long he can push back his bedtime. The situations become more and more far-fetched, yet the mom's love never wavers. Finally, Stinky Face is ready for bed.
This is a really fun book. It is imaginative and playful - definitely fun for kids. Author Lisa McCourt writes very suitably for young children, incorporating monsters with one eye and big fangs in a book that simultaneously speaks to the concept of unconditional love. The kids think they are listening to a fun story, yet important concepts are being conveyed at the same time.
I will definitely be looking for more Stinky Face books in the future.
