STINK AND THE WORLD'S WORST SUPER-STINKY SNEAKERS & STINK AND THE GREAT GUINEA PIG EXPRESS

McDonald gives Judy Moody's younger brother, Stink, his due in these two infectious stories. Well-intentioned Stink is ready, with his trusty friends and supportive teacher, to tackle any problem and do the right thing, even when it involves deciding between being a judge or a contestant in a super-smelly contest or giving away an animal he has come to love when trying to find suitable homes for 100-odd guinea pigs. Nancy Cartwright, well known for her work as the voice of Bart Simpson, gives listeners an engaging boy in Stink. We root for Stink right away. Cartwright's pacing, tone, inflection, and intonation are spot-on as she delivers McDonald's text with all the energy it deserves. Listen, and listen again.
