My 7-year-old son is a HUGE Stink fan! He has read all the books, and is waiting for another to be published. So, when I found this one, I ordered it for him. It is VERY funny. When he's reading it, he wants to stop every minute and tell me something funny from the book. It even lists a website that lets you hear the different sounds that a guinea pig (Stink's pet) makes! This book is LOTS of fun!

I am pretty disappointed in the book Stink-O-Pedia. I was hoping for more activities that correlated with the Stink series. When I purchased the Judy Moody Way not Boring book of stuff to do the book is full of activites, there was a sticker page, and all activities correlated to the series, Judy Moody.

This book was for my son, but my daughters also got a chuckle out of seeing it. My son enjoyed reading it and I think we will purchase another in the collection. A great book to have just for when they feel bored and want something to skim read.

My son loves both volumes of the stink o pedia. We got tsecond one first and had to get the first one. Great for kids who are interested in facts. also great for kids who have trouble sitting down and reading long chapter books.

My son picked up this book after reading one of the Judy Moody books. He loved it, with a nice mix of drawings and text. He wants more!!!

This was a Christmas gift for our seven-year-old Grandson, and he loved it! Started reading as soon as he opened!

First let me say that I don't own this book. This review is based on my experience in finding it and browsing a few pages of it on Amazon.

I found this book in an odd way: a Google image search on 'stink lines'. When I clicked on it and took a peek inside I was expecting to find a book full of information about stinky, smelly, funky stuff (skunks, rotting food, the smell they add to natural gas, etc.) Instead I find it's a book about some character I've never heard of and his pals and such. Might be great for kids who are already fans of the character (I don't know if it really adds any new information, so who knows really) but otherwise not so great, obviously.

One thing I can add that may be of interest to all: the part about belly buttons. It claims that some *psychologists* think the shape of your belly button indicates something about your personality. Huh? Maybe incompetent psychologists, or people who aren't really trained & educated psychologists but claim to be. (Ok, maybe an "outie" *might* indicate a tendency to overeat or get pregnant, but that's kind of a stretch.) I didn't look too much farther. If my son ever wants this book, he will get a fact-checked and annotated version if any.
