    About The Stinky Cheese Man

    The entire book, with its unconventional page arrangement and eclectic, frenetic mix of text and pictures, is a spoof on the art of book design and the art of the fairy tale. The individual tales, such as The Really Ugly Duckling and Little Red Running Shorts, can be extracted for telling aloud, with great success. Another masterpiece from the team that created The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!
    -Horn Book

    About The Stinky Cheese Man

    It’s been years since Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith introduced the world to the Cinderumpelstiltskin, Little Red Running Shorts, Chicken Licken, and the rest of the hilarious cast of characters in The Stinky Cheese Man. In this audio edition, listen to some really off-the-wall fairy tales, including: ‘The Princess and the Bowling Ball’; ‘The Really Ugly Duckling’, and ‘Jack’s Bean Problem’.


    “Irrepressibly zany and fun.” (Kirkus Reviews, pointer review) 

    “Another masterpiece from the team that created The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.” (The Horn Book, starred review)
