Megan McDonald is the author of the popular and
award-winning series starring Judy Moody. She says, "Once, while I
was visiting a class full of Judy Moody readers, the kids, many
with spiked hair à la Judy's little brother, chanted, 'Stink!
Stink! Stink! Stink! Stink!' as I entered the room. In that moment,
I knew that Stink had to have a book all his own."
Peter H. Reynolds is the illustrator of all the Judy
Moody books. He says, "I've fallen in love with the whole cast of
characters in the world of Judy Moody, but Stink has always been a
favorite of mine. He reminds me of myself growing up: dealing with
a sister prone to teasing and bossing around — and having to get
creative in order to stand tall beside her."
Delightful full-page and spot-art cartoons and playful language in
large type bring the child's adventures to life. 'Things are
definitely looking up, up, UP' with this bright addition to
beginning chapter-book collections.
