Introducing...UNCLE STINKY!
Uncle Stinky is a superhero with a heart of gold-and a stink to high heaven! And it's a good thing that a superhero lives in the little town of Hootenholler, because there's always someone who needs saving from the Dreadful Plague of Embarrassment. But despite smelling like onions and old fish, Stinky saves the day in this uproarious blend of text and comic book-style illustrations.
Looky here he comes again... UNCLE STINKY, BOOK TWO!
In Uncle Stinky’s second adventure arch nemesis Theo Durzindapance (say it out loud) wants to seize control of Hootenholler and send Uncle Stinky away forever! And our stinky superhero must face a tiny car packed with intergalactic clowns who turn out to be more sinister than silly. An out-of-this-world adventure with laugh-out-loud hijinks and comic book–style illustrations, this book will have kids rolling in the aisles.
MOBY STINK: AN INSTANT CLASSIC
Call him Stinky. In this third adventure, the hero with a heart of gold and a stink to high heaven enters the 238th Annual Catfish Rodeo and Fish Fry. A catfish of preposterous proportions has confounded the fishermen of Hottenholler for generations. Once again, the whole town has gathered to see if anyone will catch the elusive fish. T.V. personality and all-around big shot, Barry Cooter harbors a particular resentment of Ol’ Whiskers—he blames the fish for the terrible incident that resulted in the loss of his hiney. Will Barry be the one to finally hook the great white catfish or will Uncle Stinky’s secret weapon prove irresistible fish bait? PLUS! Hootenholler’s One of a Kind Self-Guided Tour of Rocks and a terrifying tale about zombie chickens.
READING GUITAR MAN
Remember when the Reading Guitar Man rocked the house at Social Circle Primary School? How about when the fifth graders at Atha Road Elementary stormed the stage? Then there was the incident at Miss Wanda's Day Care when the groupies got so excited they wet their pants...Oh, wait a minute, they always do that! Now you, too, can sing the songs made legendary at Readapalooza and Bookstock!

"TOO MUCH of a Good Thing" FRONT COVER and BACK COVER

Uncle Stinky's adventures just keep getting more adventurous and his stinky just keeps getting stinkier. When the 238th Annual Catfish Rodeo and Fish Fry rolls around, the folks in Hootenholler are bound and determined to catch the ever-elusive Ol' Whiskers. But Barry Cooter, a fisherman of television fame with a life-long grudge against the massive fish, will stop at nothing to be the one to bring him in, even if he has to do away with the good-hearted Hootenhollerans to get them out of his way.
