Candlewick Press (MA) Stink and the World's Worst Super-Stinky Sneakers

Easy to read and was an interesting story line. My kids liked it.

My son is 8 and loves this series....personally, I don't like reading them, but they aren't for me. Thankfully he does well enough with these he reads them to himself.He is 8 years old and definitely has his own opinions on what he wants to read (not any of the hundreds of books his older brother liked...those, like oh, say 35 or so Magic Treehouse books, are dusty on the book shelf...). He likes Captain Underpants, the A to Z Mysteries, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and now the Stink books. He did read some Horrible Harry ones too, but he seems to have moved on from there.His second grade teacher says he reads a grade ahead...and for what it's worth I checked the 'lexile' on this one and it's 610 for those who track that (as a quick peek I noticed the Animorphs, the Boxcar Children, Magic Treehouse and Encyclopedia Brown are in the same general lexile range). In any case, he does love these books and read this one in one sitting on a Saturday afternoon of his own volition. I looked over and there he was, reading away. Definitely a book for the 'win' column!RECOMMENDEDJTG

We love the Stink series. I have two boys that are eight and nine and they both really enjoy these books. They have a good mix of humor and a lesson to be learned and enjoy the books so much they don't even realize that they're doing their homework. My nine year old is more of a reluctant reader and he really likes the Stink books.

My son is a beginner chapter book reader. This is perfect for him. It is funny and the font is big enough. He finished the whole series of nine books within just a few weeks.

We bought these books over the summer to help my son with his reading. The first one was "ok" but it was the second book that peeked his interest. He is more than halfway throught the 3rd and is still interested. Good books for a second grader.
