Editor's Notes and Comments:
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.

'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

The book starts out with a dedication to the NYC sanitation department. How often does that happen?
The whole length of the book is a garbage truck describing his day (our night, of course). Hence the line "Did I wake you? Well, TOO BAD." (I love that line. It's so true to life! Our garbage trucks always wake us here.)
This truck roars, burps, and is proud of his recipe for Alphabet Soup (including such delicacies as Dirty Diapers and Puppy Poo, not to mention Zipped up Ziti with Zucchini). And I love the pride with which our narrator declares that he stinks - but he's got an important job. Without him, as he ways, we're on "Mount Trash-o-rama, baby".
I can't say enough good things about this book. Definitely check it out.

This is a terrific read-aloud for little boys, who will giggle through the "alphabet soup". It's a workout to read out loud, though, because of the zany typography and myriad exclamation points expressing the truck's attitude with a capital A. (This book is the reason my boys know what an exclamation point is for!) If you're looking for a gift for a 3-6 year old boy, you will absolutely not go wrong with _I Stink_ or the other McMullan books, especially _I'm Dirty_.

"I Stink" is a great, fun way for kindergarteners or pre-k kids to learn their letters. Most children enjoy reading unusual descriptive words that most adults frown upon using. With kids, the yuckier the better and when they are reading a book, Mom and Dad are happy to see their kids reading.

Got it from the library. Ordered some as presents and had to get a copy for ourselves. My 5 year old son (and I) love it. First read it probably when he was 3 or so. First found Let's Tug which is great too, then found this one by same authors who are fantastic. great words, great photos, an alphabet garbage too. A new way to look at passing garbage trucks! Get it!

I really don't care for this book at all. I don't like the sarcastic tone and the way that it reads. It's not interesting to my son at all.
