Stinky’s Stories: The Boy Who Cried Underpants!

Written by J.J. & Chris Grabenstein, Illustrated by Alex Patrick

Stinky is a stuffed animal in the library at school. All the stuffed animals can talk and move when adults aren’t around and Stinky is a skunk. He likes to make up stories, and this is a silly story he tells about the boy who cried wolf. He tells the kids in the library a different ending to the story. This is a fun early chapter book that has silly jokes that I think kids will find entertaining. The art is quite delightful as well.
