My kids loved this book. There weren't a whole lot of pictures in this book, so I'd say for independent readers it's probably more for late second/early third grade. It was slightly more content than my seven year old wanted to read on his own, but both boys (7 and 4) sat for the whole story and talked about it for ages. My kids don't have the fantasy/realism figured out yet, so they do really believe that Stink was turning into a frog. Actually, I take that back. They're convinced that Stink really did get the characteristics of a frog (just like Spiderman). This book convinced my older son that he should get better at swimming. And my younger son took away that if Stink can learn to dunk his head, then so can he. I love that in each book Stink is able to overcome some issue or resolve some problem. Each one has convinced my kids that they can tackle something that has previously been scary. I'm sure this one will be read multiple times as each of my boys become more independent readers.
When I have read almost 30 books in series that are linked and I keep coming back for more you know they are good books. Especially when I have rated almost all of them 5 out of 5 stars. I read this one a while back but somehow forgot to review it. So I gave it a quick reread so I could write this review. The book was just as fun the second time through.This book has a lot of information about frogs, if you were not freaky for them before reading the book, like Stink you might become freaky for them. Stink is struggling with his swimming but after a close encounter with a blue frog he feels some changes come over himself. Combine that with a trip to the nature center and Stink becomes even weirder than usual.Another great read from McDonald and Reynolds. Other exciting news there is a new series out of shorter books in the Judy Moody and Friends series they should be an interesting edition to the Moody books.
My son loves the series. He reads it cover to cover before I ask him how it's going.And he is NOT a born reader, so they must be pretty good.
If you like frogs I think you should read this book. Stink really likes frogs. Stinkâs friends Webster and Sophie think that Stink is going to turn into a glowing radioactive frog.Stink began turning into a frog. Stink can now touch his nose with his tongue. Stink made up a character named Stinkfrog. I think you should read this book because it is very funny!
I bought numbers 1 through 7 of the Stink books for my daughter and she loves them. She loves them so much that I have ordered the number 8 and will be getting the number 9 for her as well.
I am using this book to improve a second grader's ability to read better, as I am an educational tutor. This book arrived in fabulous condition. Many thanks. I am truly satisfied.
First chapter book my troubled reader truly enjoyed. Stink is a wonderful combination of awkward and genius. Hope to read many more of his stories with my very own awkward genius.
Stink does it again! Always a home run with my grandson. Stink never fails to make him laugh and shake his head... I love these books and this author.
