"But Mama, but Mama, what if I were a super smelly skunk, and I smelled so bad that my name was Stinky Face?"Mothers love their children and this unconditional love is truly tested in I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE. Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore beautifully weave a reassuring tale of the love and affection of a parent. The imaginative son turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature and much, much more before being satisfied with the fact that no matter how stinky he is or how slimy of a creature he could possibly be, he is loved and nothing will change that.

"What if Santa's lips get chapped?" Stinky Face asks. "What if the sack of toys starts to rip?"As always, Mama lovingly addresses each and every one of her child's concerns. But as an extra safety measure, Stinky Face leaves Santa lip balm and duct tape. "Cheerful, lighthearted images compound the humor readers will derive from Stinky Face's anxieties." --Horn Book Guide
