When it comes to gross things and crude humor my seven year old son can't get enough, after reading your review I'm excited to get this and explore all the strange smells in the world with him.

The story in this book is fairly basic; the narrative mostly focuses on describing gross-smelling things. I think some children and parents may be put off by the barrage of grossness, but there are definitely some youngsters who will find this book hilarious.
It really depends upon the readers' reactions and relatability. Some might laugh while others might scorn. Thanks for the thorough review.

I thought this book would be about a kid's pair of stinky socks but there was much more to the story than that! The socks didn't compare to the green spaghetti and dried up pee! Thanks for the review.

It sounds like this book has all the makings of an excellent children's read. Between the eye-catching images, excellent rhymes, and content to make you both cringe and laugh, this one is sure to be a success.

"The narrative mostly focuses on describing gross-smelling things" - this sentence in the review made me laugh-out-loud already. Thanks for a smelly adventure!

This book definitely catches the attention of the children as it is very well supported with funny pictures. Great also for their learning! I’ve finished the book and yes, before 6 minutes was over I was done reading it. Very excited to share this book with my nephews and teach them to throw their socks in the laundry basket!

From the review, I think it will be a good read together with my 2 daughters age 3 & 10. It is something that we should already introduced to children how things can really smell bad if left unattended. But will see if it will really teach them something.

I think I'd have some fun reading this book to my grade 1 and 2 classes, so I'll probably check it out, just for the fun of watching their contorted faces. Thanks for the fun review.

Sigfried's smelly socks: The review has been done perfectly,especially the illustrations and pictures which will help the early readers to understand things smelling gross and he has not forgotten to warn those who are easily put off by gross smell.
its a great review
