The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales is an irreverent retelling of classic childhood tales written by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith. It has won the Caldecott Honor book award and has been recognized by the New York Times as one of their Best Illustrated Books of the Year. This book has become a classic of its own for a whole new generation of kids and adults.

The authors have challenged the whole idea of book design and storytelling with characters that weave in and out of different stories. Like the Little Red Hen that appears throughout the book with its constant complaints about lack of recognition: “Over fifty pages of nonsense and I’m only in three of them.”

A wealth of stories is included in this collection that will amuse anyone with a sense of humor:
