Davis, E.
(2008). Stinky: A Toon Book. New York: Little Lit Library.
You mean to tell me that kids like stinky, dirty things too? Nah-Uh! So here’s a story about a
swamp monster by the name of Stinky who absolutely hated children because children hated
everything he loved. In this three-chapter graphic novel, Stinky tries his
very best to drive Nick away from his swamp because well, you know, kids and
swamp monsters could not be friends. This endearing story shows how a tough,
stinky monster shows his kindness and turns into a caring monster who feels
terribly guilty when his plan to drive Nick away ends up hurting the young boy.
It is then when he realizes that the stereotype he had of children could have
perhaps been wrong.
