I love cheese, particularly stinky cheese, and although I don't think I'm that old yet, I did identify with the title and blurb and so bought this book for my older son as a Christmas present one year when he was little.

I thought it was a funny story with great illustrations, but my wife - I sound like Columbo! - my wife, she doesn't like stinky cheese, so not only do I usually have to eat it in another room, she couldn't even bear to listen to a story about it. End result: I no longer have this book.

But, I do still eat stinky cheese.

And, although my older son isn't that keen on the stinky stuff, my younger one loves it! ( )

This book is a family favorite that makes poetry lots of fun! The illustrations are terrific, the rhymes make the story roll along and it is hilarious! Great for all ages read-aloud, a great intro to poetry for the young child who is old enough not to rip the pages while you turn them and young enough to laugh out loud every time a funny rhyme catches grown ups behaving in crazy fashion!

Wallace P. Flynn loves the stinkiest cheese, to the great dismay of all those around him. After a near war with the town, he decides to give up cheese so he can spend time with his grandson. Fun use of vocabulary. Detailed and colorful illustrations. Great read aloud. ( )
