Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Kid
Megan McDonald (2005), 112 pages
Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds
Audience: K - 3rd Grade
Stink Moody is Judy Moody's younger brother. He is afraid he will never grow! In fact, it's possible that he is shrinking. Judy measured him twice in one day, and the second time he was a full 1/4 inch shorter! Stink imagines that the gravity monster got him. He loves to draw comics about his life as the incredible shrinking kid. Everything that happens to Stink ends up in one of his comics. He becomes Newt Boy after he takes the class pet newt home. His favorite President is James Madison, not only because they share a first name (Stink's real name), but because Madison was the shortest President and he wrote the Bill of Rights. Stink is as much fun as his older sister.
