About this item
In honor of Judy Moodys younger "bother," the creators of the award-winning series have put themselves in a very Stink-y mood - proving, once and for all, that youre only as short as you feel.Shrink, shrank, shrunk!Every morning, Judy Moody measures Stink and its always the same: three feet, eight inches tall. Stink feels like even the class newt is growing faster than he is. Then, one day, the ruler reads - can it be? - three feet, seven and three quarters inches! Is Stink shrinking? He tries everything to look like hes growing, but wearing up-and-down stripes and spiking his hair arent fooling anyone into thinking hes taller. If only he could ask James Madison - Stinks hero, and the shortest person ever to serve as President of the United States.In Stinks first solo adventure, his special style comes through loud and strong - enhanced by a series of comic strips, drawn by Stink himself, which are sprinkled throughout the book. From "The Adventures of Stink in SHRINK MONSTER" to "The Adventures of Stink in NEWT IN SHINING ARMOR," these very funny, homespun sagas reflect the familiar voice of a kid who pictures himself with super powers to deal with the travails of everyday life - including the occasional teasing of a bossy big sister!
