    This book stunk and not in a good way, and I rate this book 1 out of 4 stars. The book consisted of a list of things that were stinky in the boy’s room; there was no plot or real change in the main character or progression of a plot. There was no educational value in the plot, and for exploring rhyme, there are far better choices that are more likely to maintain a child’s attention. The book starts out by naming things that stink and how they came to be in that area, like in the book or in the boy’s room.
