Fiction Picture Book/Caldecott Honor Book

Scieszka, J. (1992). The stinky chesse man and other fairly stupid tales. Viking Juvenile.

Illustrator Lane Smith

This is a fiction picture book. This is a hilarious combination of fairy tales written in parable form. The book takes off and keeps you guessing even to the very back cover as the stinky cheese man runs through a variety of tales and meets many other mismatched charaters. The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales is a Caldecott Honor award book.

This is a great book for teaching fairy tales in a fun way. This book is great for children in grades 2nd through 5th. Children love comparing this book to the orignal fairy tale. Students can then take these ideas and create their own version of a fairy tale.

This book is a fun book. It is full of humor and great for making you laugh. This book makes me look at fairy tales in a really fun and humorus way.
