The book I just finished reading was Stink, The Incredible Shrinking Kid. It was such a silly, simple book, but I enjoyed every page of it. Picking up a children's' book to read took me back to the joys of reading as a child. Stink is a three foot, eight-inch boy every day, no matter how hard he tries to grow. As a matter of fact, Stink actually notices he has shrunk a quarter inch one night as he is measured before bed. How is that possible?

Stink is a very motivated little boy who stays on track and does things the way he is supposed to do them. Stink is made fun of every single day by his older sister Judy Moody for being short. Stink often gets upset that he is the shortest one in his family and one of the shortest ones at his school. Stink and Judy remind me of my brother and I when we were young children. I was always so much taller than my brother was and I frequently made fun of him for being short.

The visuals in this book were very child-friendly, off the wall, and fun. This book brought joy to me while I was reading it and made me reminisce on being a child. I wish the author would have included a little more to the book. I think it is important to know if Stink ever grows or not!

 This book had short chapters and tons of visuals, so it was very easy to keep the attention of the reader!
