"The Stinky Cheese Man And Other Fairly Stupid Tales" By Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith (Puffin Books, Penguin Books Ltd, London 1992)


The second Jon Scieszka book to be featured on this blog - last one being "The Frog Prince Continued" http://picturesfromanoldbook.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/frog-prince-continued-by-jon-scieszka.html . Very anarchic sense of humour - not always in favour with kids in my experience, but very exciting for adults because you just can't guess how the story is going to end as in normal children's books! The illustrations are certainly very entertaining and seductive. This was the first of a long collaboration between the writer and the illustrator - all other titles are listed on their wikipedia page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Scieszka#Picture_Books
