You're absolutely right- this isn't for everyone. I find the humor worth a giggle, but it does border on rude at times.

I really enjoyed the preview and I know my youngest brother would love this book. The quality of the gross images and the fun rhyme scheme make it a children's book that I think parents, grandparents, the cool aunts and uncles, and other grown-ups will enjoy reading to the kids in their life.

What a well thought-out review for such a short story. I enjoyed reading your review and am tempted to give the story a try.

A book about smells, this seems interesting. Some children might be put off by the grossness but just as many are all for it. I think at least one of my nieces would be all giggles. Sounds like a fun book for everyone.

It sounds like the author has an inner 5 year old whispering in his imagination. I plan on reading this with my grandson so I can watch his face.

I think my daughter would this book. She is very picky when it comes to me reading her books, but after reading the review she would enjoy it.

This book sounds like a hilarious read. I was put off at first by the title, but your review really enticed me to read it. Perfect book for my nephew.

Sigfried's Smelly Socks! is strictly a kiddies show but that's not saying adults can't get to read it. Great review. Did a good job reviewing the book.

As a parent of a child in the age range targeted by this book, I can attest that most kids this age seem obsessed with the stinky, slimey, and gross! I've seen plenty of praise for this book around the site here, and I admit it's gotten me curious. My kiddo will probably enjoy this :)

The sample of this book had me chuckling and remember the times I had to find a bad smell in my son's room. I am sure my grandchildren would love this book. Great review.

This is a great book for those who like Dr. Seuss. What I loved was the rhymes and the pictures as they were photographs as well as illustrations. I would recommend this book to kids under the age of 11.

Most times Children hardly have a common ground with their parents for one reason or the other....i know what that experience feels like.... I highly recommend this book to all parents and children. It will serve as a bridge to enhance Children - Parents communication
Thank you so much for the review you did an awesome job.

I read the sample and it made me laugh. My kids are all grown up, but if they weren't I'd have bought this as a cute little fun read. Plus it seems to be a learning tool as well. Reading is fun, but getting to learn while reading is even better!.
Great Book, perhaps it'll be in school library's soon enough.

I wonder how the author added altogether. He was good totally.

This sounds like a really cute and funny little story for kids. Honestly, the two of those words you mentioned I don´t even know the meaning of (then again, I´m not a native English speaker). Great review!
