Title aside, this is actually a rather sweet holiday picture book for young kids. While Mama decorates, a little girl (I think it's a girl) asks questions about the irrational worries she has - what if snow covers the door? What if the reindeer's antler gets stucik in the branches of the tree over my window? Etc. Mama responds with practical solutions to each of these fears, and eases the child's mind. This is an engaging idea for a picture book, as many children are apt to wonder odd things like this, and will appreciate the tone of comfort. Those who know better will find it all funny. The book is marred only by the completely unnecessary ending, where the mother says "Merry Christmas, my stinky face" to the child. Readers are apt to wonder why the mother uses this supposed term of affection, as it has never been introduced before - for some reason it is also used as the title of the book. But with some explanation, most kids will enjoy the rest of the story.

If you have followed the Stinky face books you will find that the reason for the name stinky face is introduced in "I love you Stinky Face"
I run a home day care and these books are right up the childrens alley. They stay interested and beg me to read them. I would recommend them to EVERYONE!

Stinky Face is called Stinky because he's a super smelly skunk and everyone calls him Stinky Face. My Mom or Dad have to read these books to my brothers EVERY night. They never get tired of them.

This is a GREAT book. I love all of the Stinky Face books. My favorite is the first one I Love You Stinky Face. I think I've read it at least 5000 times since I was really little. Every kid should have the stinky books.
