Description

Trade Review“The book is fast-paced; it has a colorful cover; every busy page is filled with plenty of black-and-white illustrations. Chapter endnotes cheer readers on by marking their progress with the number of chapters—and sometimes the number of words—that they’ve just read. Attention-grabbing phrases such as “layered slime cookies,” “snot bubble,” and the “forklift of doom” will have young readers giggling. Hargis wraps up the fun by suggesting three “Super Stinky Games” readers can play that promise to engage their creativity. VERDICT A recommended purchase.” — School Library Journal
