Over at The Homeschool Village this week, the topic is: What is your child’s favorite book and why would they recommend it to a friend?
The book my 5 year old chose was I Love You Stinky Face by Lisa McCourt.
I purchased this book for my son (he was the only child at the time), I purchased it for him for his 2nd Christmas, I wrote a special note inside. I had never ead this book before but a good friend of mine told me about it & I am glad I purchased it for him.
Product Description
“But Mama, but Mama, what if I were a super smelly skunk, and I smelled so bad that my name was Stinky Face?”Mothers love their children and this unconditional love is truly tested in I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE. Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore beautifully weave a reassuring tale of the love and affection of a parent. The imaginative son turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature and much, much more before being satisfied with the fact that no matter how stinky he is or how slimy of a creature he could possibly be, he is loved and nothing will change that.
When we read this book it’s a sentimental time for us. Most of the time I cry as I read it to him. I can’t wait for him to read the whole book by himself & see the little love note I wrote him on the inside. This book is how I feel about him, no matter what I love him! What HE likes about the book is the T-Rex and he gets a kick out of me blubbering as I read it to him but as he gets older he is understanding what the book means!
Oh Nicole – how sweet! I’ve never written inside one of my boy’s books before. I am going to do that this year for Christmas, what a fantastic idea! Thank you!!
Thanks for linking up this week and being a weekly encouragement to others!

That book wasn’t around when my children were young but I’m excited to learn about it – it sounds wonderful! Thanks for telling about it, Nicole. I’ll remember it for when I have grandchildren!!
Nicole, how my heart smiled to read your post! I have a little guy who I definitely think needs a copy of Stinky Face… and the mama-love that comes with it! 🙂
