Books with title I Love You, Stinky Face

A vividly illustrated bedtime story that shows how the unconditional love of a mother can be tested through the relentless questions of her little boy."But Mama, but Mama, what if I were a super smelly skunk, and I smelled so bad that my name was Stinky Face?"Mothers love their children and this unconditional love is truly tested in I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE. Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore beautifully weave a reassuring tale of the love and affection of a parent. The imaginative son turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature and much, much more before being satisfied with the fact that no matter how stinky he is or how slimy of a creature he could possibly be, he is loved and nothing will change that.

Like many little kids, Stinky Face worries when his Mama is away. But Mama tells her son that nothing can keep them apart and that she’ll be flying home to see him tomorrow. When Stinky Face asks what will happen if the plane forgets how to fly, she tells him she’ll hop in a hot-air balloon. And if that hot-air balloon runs out of air and has to land in the desert, she’ll ride a camel home to see him.And on and on it goes, as the boy imagines Mama braving hungry sharks, terrible pirates, spaceships lost in time, and much more to get home to her son. In the end, mother and son reveal how much they miss each other and how they can’t wait to be together again! Kids will laugh at all the fun situations and wild exaggerations and will be reassured by the endearing message about the undying love of a mother.
