Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Badness of Badgers

133 pp. | Putnam | February, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-101-99662-1 $15.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sam Ricks. On a quest to get King Toothbrush Weasel to rid the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle of robber badgers ("Think about it. They do bad things because they're badgers"), Stinkbomb and his younger sister, Ketchup-Face, end up pursuing the bandits themselves. Brief chapters are chock-a-block with nonstop silliness, snarky fairy-tale tropes, playful type, and exuberant illustrations. This is literary candy for kids, especially reluctant readers.
