Early chapter book about the power of writing (to get free things and to communicate with producers of consumer goods)-- as Stink writes to a candy manufacturer to complain that the super-galactic jawbreaker he bought didn't break his jaw. The company responds by sending him a huge box of them. So he starts to write and complain about other things -- and receives free stuff in return. Unfortunately his new obsession causes him to almost lose his best friend -- making him realize what's more important in life. The power of idioms to communicate is also humorously conveyed -- both in the text and in comic-book pages throughout illustrating idioms such as "sour grapes", "getting out of the wrong side of bed", "two heads are better than one", "put on your thinking cap", "as cute as a bug's ear", "costing an arm and a leg", "making a mountain out of a molehill", "feeling like a heel", etc. no reviews | add a review

This is a great listen for families with young children. Every character voice is distinct and the book had me chuckling aloud at many points. Highly recommended. (
