Reading Level N
This book has references to poetry, figurative language, research, acrostic poetry, and six pages of graphic novel/comics at end of each of the chapters. It's REALLY well written. James Moody ("Stink") is Judy Moody's younger brother. She figures prominently in the book. "You're only as short as you feel." How can you beat that?
Okay, I'm sold. I love Stink. (Does that mean I'll love Judy Moody?)
Stink is certain he's shrinking. He's certainly not getting any taller. Then he gets to be the person that brings home the class newt for the weekend, and it slips down the drain. He celebrates James Madison for President's Day (he was 5' 4" tall), likes school, enjoys homework, writes poetry and songs - well, what's not to love?
The illustrations are the same as Judy Moody. Black and white and fun.
It looks like there are four books in the series so far:
1. Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Kid, 2005
2. Stink and the Incredible Super-Galactic Jawbreaker, 2006
3. Stink and the World's Worst Super-Stinky Sneakers, 2007
4. Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express, 2008
