[LISTENED TO: April 15, 2016] Stink: the World’s Worst Super-Stinky Sneakers & the Great Guinea Pig Express
T. was listening to this book in her room and I said, hey, that’s Bart Simpson. And indeed, the book was being read by Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart (as well as Nelson, Ralph, and dozens of other minor characters). The next day we went on a car ride and she asked to listen to the stories. So we did. I heard the end of the Guinea Pig story and then all of the sneaker story. Well, I couldn’t have a half finished story in my head so I had to listen to the beginning of the guinea pig story too, and call it all finished.
I knew of Stink from the Judy Moody books. Stink is Judy’s younger brother (and she’s pretty awful in these books. I don’t recall if she was awful in her own books). But that could just be because this is about Stink and not her. We learn how Stink got his name: Judy started singing a song about him in which stink was the chorus. And it just stuck.
Stink goes by Stink in school and elsewhere. And apparently he has a super duper sniffer (this may just be a coincidence and not a side effect of being called Stink). (more…)
