Introducing...UNCLE STINKY!
THE ADVENTURES OF UNCLE STINKY! BOOK ONE: The Good, the Bad and the Smelly!
Uncle Stinky's NOSTRIL-FLARING AVENTURES are brought to life by Chris' innovative DRAWING technique! He has developed a ground-breaking method for creating cartoons that aren't zipping around all over the place! That's right, he has eliminated all that nausea-causing movement that you find in most animated features! This way, you get to look at the pictures as long as you want! And, as an extra bonus, he's done away with those irritating sound effects, too! THIS GIVES YOU, dear reader, THE FREEDOM TO MAKE YOUR OWN SMELLY NOISES!
Looky here he comes again... UNCLE STINKY, BOOK TWO!
THE ADVENTURES OF UNCLE STINKY! BOOK TWO: STINK TREK!
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.
READING GUITAR MAN
Reading Guitar Man SONG LYRICS!
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!
