The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales is an original book on some classic tales. This book takes tales like, "The Gingerbread Man", "The Princess and the Pea" and "The Ugly Duckling" and makes them into tales that are sarcastic and funny.

I was introduced to this book by a friend and instantly fell in love. I think this is a great book for those naught little boys in our lives that would rather sing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" than the original. I think that this book taps into a little boys imagination of what he is really thinking when he hears the original tale. I think that the book also shows some creative writing by taking classic tales and making them into something new.

I don't think that this is a book I would read to my entire class because I don't think it appeals to a wide range of interests. I would definitely keep this book in my classroom library for all my "naughty" little boys to read when they are feeling mischievous.
