Stinky loves his swamp. He loves how stinky everything is. He lives with frogs, alligators,possums, and slugs in a swamp filled with the stinkiest mud around. He eats pickled onions and has a pet toad named Wartbelly. Everything was just perfect for the little monster until one day when a boy comes along and builds a tree house in the swamp. Stinky is furious - he wants that boy out of his swamp. After all, children like to take baths and eat cake and apples - gross! Can these two become friends despite their differences?
I love the whimsical cartoon characters that clutter the page. This is a great book for a 4-8 year old boy. The expressive little monster is easy to like, he is so very happy and at home in muck and mud of his swamp. When Stinky wakes up he greets and is greeted by all the other swamp inhabitants and many of them are wearing close pins on their noses to avoid the smell of Stinky. This funny story is bound to be a great hit with young boys.
