Publisher Description
A vividly illustrated bedtime story that shows how the unconditional love of a mother can be tested through the relentless questions of her little boy.
FORMAT: Paperback book and CD
"But Mama, but Mama, what if I were a super smelly skunk, and I smelled so bad that my name was Stinky Face?"
A mother's unconditional love is truly tested in this warm and reassuring tale. The imaginative son turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature, and much more before being satisfied 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.
