Stinkiest!: 20 Smelly Animals (Extreme Animals) by Steve Jenkins

When my 8-year-old son decided he wasn’t “into” reading this summer, I checked this book out at the library and gave it to him to read on a road trip. And what do you know? My kiddo started saying, “hey, mom! Listen to this!” He practically read the entire book to me in the car. More about our impression of this book here.
