5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic read for children (and adults!) of all ages, 26 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Scieszka has come up trumps again! As a primary school teacher I have found 'The Stinky Cheeseman' an invaluable source of entertainment! His adaptataions of traditional fairy stories are not only hysterical but are also great for inclusion of adapted traditional tales in the National Literacy Strategy.

His style and humour keep the children entertained but also provide a forum for discussing the use of illustration in telling a story, adaption, bias and humour.

I would highly recommend 'The Stinky Cheeseman' for children's own personal reading and as a class read during shared reading in the literacy hour - or even better just for fun and giggles!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 23 Oct 2007
By N. Moore "Wessex Gardens Y3" (Golders Green) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is full of really silly tales and it is very funny. The pictures show just how stinky the cheese is. Year 3 really enjoyed this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun for 4-7, 9 Mar 2009
By C. Cowie "cha" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We saw the Stinky Cheese Man story in isolation in an anthology of children's stories and bought the whole book on the basis that both my kids (4 and 6) loved the story. In the end, I think the Stinky Cheese Man was one of the best bits of the book, but especially my son (6) loved the humour and the pictures are fab. Makes an unusual change from the usual fare
