I Love You Stinky Face

By: Lisa McCourt

Illustrated by: Cyd Moore

This book is so much fun to read!  Just saying “Stinky Face” makes me giggle and have a desire to read this adorable treasure of a book.  This book describes the beauty of the unconditional love that a mother has for her child, in a playful and quite endearing way.

The little boy in this story has several questions for his mother.  He persists and continues to ask the same question in a different and unique way.  He starts out by asking if she would still love him if he was a scary monster.  He then continues to ask if she would still love him if he was a stinky skunk or ugly ape, to which she replies yes, every time.

The author has such a fun way of showing how much this mother loves her curious little boy.  It reminded me of the book “Guess how much I love you” by Sam McBratney.  I have always loved these books.  The difference is, the humor sprinkled in this particular book, in the most charming way..

The illustrations in this book were a lot of fun.  They were whimsical and enchanting with a very fun font.  This book is a board book and one of a series of books by. the same author.
