Synopsis

Everyone's favorite inquisitive little boy is back in this fourth book in the Stinky Face series!

"Mama, what if Mrs. Petry doesn't know it's really just me at her door? What if she gets so surprised from my super-scary costume that she throws her candy bowl up and it lands on her head and candy spills all over?"

It's almost time to go trick-or-treating, but first Stinky Face has just a few questions for Mama. As always, Mama lovingly addresses each and every one of her child's concerns. A sweet and reassuring Halloween tale from Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore!

From Booklist

The little boy with the unfortunate nickname returns in a fifth book, this time with questions about Halloween. As before, Stinky Face is full of what-ifs. What if Mrs. Petry gets so scared by the costumed boy and his friends that she spills the candy? What if a friend's butterfly costume turns her into a real butterfly and she flies up to the sky? Mom, of course, has answers to everything, but when the boy starts wondering if he should change his costume to superhero or firefighter, the answer is clear: this year he'll stick to his ghost costume. Books about Halloween always offer plenty of opportunity for creative art, and this is no exception. Although the story concept is a little tired, the fall-colored ink-and-watercolor paintings are full of detailed fun as they pair imagination with reality. Kids will like seeing the characters in their costumes and maybe get some ideas for their costumes of their own. Cooper, Ilene
