Product Description:
Know what I do at night while you're asleep?
Eat your trash, that's what!
With ten wide tires, one really big appetite, and an even bigger smell, this truck's got it all. His job? Eating your garbage and loving every stinky second of it!
And you thought nighttime was just for sleeping.
Amazon.com Review:
'I stink!' How can you not love such swagger and candor? And Kate and Jim McMullan's big-eyed, loudmouthed garbage truck really must stink--by its own admission, and given all those smelly bags it's been cramming into its huge back hopper.
Most kids already love garbage trucks on general principle, and one assumes that can only go double for a sass-mouthed, animated dumper like this one, out on its early-morning rounds: 'See those bags? I SMELL BREAKFAST! Crew? Get me to the curb! Lights? Blink! Brakes? Squeal! Tail gate? SAY AH!' The many opportunities for loud, large-type sound effects should make for spirited readings, and a recipe for 'alphabet soup' lets young readers practice their letters, working through the ABCs from apple cores to zipped-up ziti with zucchini.
The text to I Stink!, while fun, is nowhere near as clever as the art. But fortunately Jim McMullan's fun, fat drawings and type treatments more than make up the difference, loading Dumpsters full of personality into this grimacing, grinning, growling--even burping!--big rig. Kids will have a good time doing diesel-powered imitations, but even more importantly, they'll learn where they'd be without their neighborhood trash truck: on top of 'Mount Trash-o-rama, baby.' (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

We have a 3yr old grandkid and she loves this book.
She is all girl, dance lessons etc. etc.
We were surprised that she picks this book out over and over again for us to read. She loves the alphabet part and all the illustrations. Highly recommend this book!

The book was recommended in my grad class and I shared it with my grandson who loved it.
Rating: - Even my 2 year old loves it!
My son received this book from his Uncle. It is my son's favorite book, and he's only 2 years old! He recites the list of stinky stuff in the garbage truck, and loves to laugh at the "sound effects" we make while we read it. The illustrations are wonderful & and story is a perfect rendition of the secret life of garbage trucks!
Rating: - I Stink!
My 2 year old newphew Ryan loves this book. It's read to him many times a Day! What a wonderful, and creative mind these authors have.
