From the Publisher
In honor of Judy Moody''s younger "bother," the creators of
the award-winning series have put themselves in a very Stink-y mood
- proving, once and for all, that you''re only as short as you
feel.
Shrink, shrank, shrunk!
Every morning, Judy Moody measures Stink and it''s always the same:
three feet, eight inches tall. Stink feels like even the class newt
is growing faster than he is. Then, one day, the ruler reads - can
it be? - three feet, seven and three quarters inches! Is Stink
shrinking? He tries everything to look like he's growing, but
wearing up-and-down stripes and spiking his hair aren''t fooling
anyone into thinking he''s taller. If only he could ask James
Madison - Stink''s hero, and the shortest person ever to serve as
President of the United States.
In Stink''s first solo adventure, his special style comes through
loud and strong - enhanced by a series of comic strips, drawn by
Stink himself, which are sprinkled throughout the book. From "The
Adventures of Stink in SHRINK MONSTER" to "The Adventures of Stink
in NEWT IN SHINING ARMOR," these very funny, homespun sagas reflect
the familiar voice of a kid who pictures himself with super powers
to deal with the travails of everyday life - including the
occasional teasing of a bossy big sister!
About the Author
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."
