Book Reviews of I Stink!
Book Review: 4 1/2 stars? You're kidding me!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I had read more of the reviews before I purchased. What a waste of money. This book tries to be clever but basically tells our kids that everything is garbage and that all the trash goes bye-bye out to sea. Really?? Is that the image we want our children growing up with?
I thought I would teach my daughter that all jobs, even the gross stinky ones, are helpful to society... not through this book.
Book Review: A boy and his garbage truck--it's a beautiful thing
Summary: 5 Stars
In addition to all the other reasons why this book is fantastic (which my son and I totally agree with, btw), we love this because it is a wonderful read-aloud book. What makes it particularly good for that is the way that the authors use different typefaces, positioning and text formatting to let you know exactly how to read a particular word or phrase (it's too bad that more children's books don't do this). And even the most rhythm-challenged parent should be able to come up with a respectable flow for the truck's "back-up rap". Lots of fun for both child and parent.Book Review: Another good one from the I'm Dirty folks
Summary: 4 Stars
Another good book from the couple who did I'm Dirty (which is a winner!). This one, while not my favorite, is enjoyed thoroughly by my daughter (3) who is fascinated by trucks and tractors of all kinds. This one deals with the garbage truck (trash trucks) and its job, and also goes through the alphabet (A-Z) with regards to what's been picked up. I know our trash isn't put on a barge, nor is our trash collected overnight, as in this book, but all in all, still one we have enjoyed with our little one. I don't like that it's so easy to dispose of things but that's the current state of our society. It's been a good way to start to talk about recycling and other reduce/reuse options with her, too.Book Review: Awesome Kids Book
Summary: 5 Stars
A three year old introduced me to I Stink. Even though he couldn't read, he knew almost every descriptive word. He "read" the book with such enthusiasm and energy. I bought the book for my grandkids, and they enjoy it just as much. They enjoy the DVD version, and the CD version, so they can look at the book while listening or viewing the story as well. The illustrations are great too! For me it is the sound of the words, they make the story exciting every time you read it.Book Review: Can't wait to see more from these authors!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is my sons FAVORITE! He is 2 years old and has memorized every word of this book! If you have a little boy, this book is a must have! Just ordered "I'm Dirty" Can't wait to read it to him!
