Featured Official Review: Sigfried's Smelly Socks!

[BookishCreature]

A book of gross things - little boys rejoice! Thanks for the thorough and well-written review. I'm even more excited to check out these illustrations for myself. It's nice to see a kids' book as BOTD.

I would have loved to read this sort of book as a young child! I love the idea of humorous picture book!

[Sarah_Khan]

This book about a boy and smelly things seems like just the kind of thing that would make a child laugh. I like the illustrations, as you mentioned, they are unique. Great job on your review! I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to give it 4 stars!

I love it,it's very funny and remind me of my childhood

[Connie Otwani]

The book sounds like some shock therapy about grossness! I must check it out thanks to your review!!

[CaitlinGonya]

The alliteration of the title and your review make it sound fun. However, it sounds like something I would have to check with my sister before reading to her kids. However, I might still read it as I am a kid at heart.

I don't mind gross! I think my nieces will love this. Great review!

[CrescentMoon]

This book sounds like such a cute fun read. I'm sure adults and children alike would enjoy it unless they are put off by gross pictures and smells. I like how there is a cute little mystery to it with Sigfried trying to get to the bottom of why his book smells so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Great review!

I think I am one of those people mentioned in the review that might be turned off by the book. Was not a fan.

I agree with this reviewer's assessment. While I appreciated the illustrations, I found the story line a little gross and not something I would want to read to young children who already have a fascination with bodily functions that sometimes can be inappropriately expressed. Having said that, her cautionary statement at the end was perfect!

Great review. It sounds like there's lots of mild gross-out moments in the book; good idea to warn readers just in case they have queasy stomachs.

I've read so many great reviews of this kids' book that I'll have to see for myself. Is it the whole thing really so gross?

I find that my young nieces love the really gross stories read to them. I think that this one would fit right in. Illustrations make a children's book, so I'm glad to hear that this book has great pictures. Thanks for the review

[jedreid]

great review! when it comes to children's book i always look forward to the illustrations and it seems that this one has some that i'll really enjoy!

[Katherine Smith]

This book definitely sounds like something that little boys would enjoy. I can imagine little kids laughing at all of gross smells. I like that the author does not have a filter and makes something that others would find weird to be funny. I agree with the age bracket that you gave for a story such as this one. This book would be great for children who are becoming independent readers.
