Read an Excerpt

"At the museum, kids were calling me The Nose," said Stink, tapping his right nostril. "I found out today that I can smell stuff really, really great, better than anybody in my whole class. Sophie says I smell better than a dog."

"I should hope so!" said Mom. Mom and Judy cracked up.

"Woof!" said Stink.

"And here I thought you just had a nose for trouble," said Mom.

"Laugh all you want," said Stink. "But this nose could make me famous."

"My elbow’s famous," said Judy, holding up the elbow that once starred in a picture in the newspaper.

"No, I mean it. When I grow up, I’m going to do something great with this nose," said Stink. "You can’t waste a nose like this." He admired himself in the mirror, turning his head from left to right and studying The Nose, his best feature.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 1-3 - Stink Moody, Judy's little brother, is sure he can win the Super-Stinky Sneaker Contest because he has such a supersensitive nose. When his class goes to the Gross-Me-Out exhibit at the science museum, the second grader is able to identify every smell in the Everybody Stinks exhibit, from bad breath to "B.O." This ability really impresses his classmates. He becomes "Mr. Nose-it-all," and he hopes one day to smell a corpse flower, which has the worst odor in the entire world. When cancellation of the contest is threatened because one of the judges is sick, Stink's teacher comes up with a unique way to save the day, but it would mean that Stink would have to give up becoming a contestant. Stink is a delightful protagonist, comical and bright, and McDonald cleverly imparts information on smells. The characters ring true. The early chapter-book format is inviting, with lots of white space, occasional illustrations, and a vocabulary that stretches but doesn't strain young readers. A funny book worthy of being added to almost any collection.-Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
