The Amazing Odorous Adventures of Stinky Dog

101 pp. | Atheneum | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85633-4 $$9.95
(4) 1-3 Tales from the House of Bunnicula series. Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Dachshund Howie, in Dutch for rolling in a compost heap, is inspired to write a self-referential story about a caped canine crusader called Stinky Dog. This parody of comic-book heroes is spiked with notes from "Howie's Writing Journal," in which he discusses the trials of authorship and his hope of winning the "Newbony Award." The story is slight, but the writing and black-and-white comic-strip-style art are funny.
