**By popular demand -- Judy Moody's brother, Stink, gets his chance to
star!
**
Shrink, shrank, shrunk!
Every morning, Judy Moody measures Stink and it's always the same: three
feet, eight inches tall. Stink feels like even the class newt is growing
faster than he is. Then, one day, the ruler reads -- can it be? -- three
feet, seven and three quarters inches! Is Stink shrinking? He tries
everything to look like he's growing, but wearing up-and-down stripes
and spiking his hair aren't fooling anyone into thinking he's taller. If
only he could ask James Madison -- Stink's hero, and the shortest person
ever to serve as president of the United States.
In Stink's first solo adventure, his special style comes through loud
and strong -- enhanced by a series of comic strips, drawn by Stink
himself, which are sprinkled throughout the book. From "The Adventures
of Stink in SHRINK MONSTER" to "The Adventures of Stink in NEWT IN
SHINING ARMOR," these very funny, homespun sagas reflect the familiar
voice of a kid who pictures himself with super powers to deal with the
travails of everyday life -- including the occasional teasing of a bossy
big sister!
