Industry Reviews

"'Full of cartoonish personality ... The text is spare and clear, much of it in the immediacy of word balloons, with the odd nice curly word like preposterous and enthusiastic, and some simple, colloquial wordplay ... Problem-solving skills and the benefits of neighbourly cooperation are gently canvassed, along with a memorable modicum of natural science: by the end of the book we all know why- and when- Stinkbug stinks.' Katherine England, Magpies Magazine

'In this quirky, funny and slightly smelly story, Stinkbug discovers there is still a time and place for what he does best.' Sandy Fussell, The Sunday Telegraph

'A sweet, humorous tale about friendship and being true to yourself rather than changing to fit in.' Book Curator, Queensland

'The titular character lives up to his name. His neighbours try to be nice but eventually a leopard slug slides up to him. ""Um ... we were wondering if you needed to stink so much."" Stinkbug's feelings are hurt. But what happens next reminds us that (a) being stinky isn't the only unfortunate character trait, and (b) sometimes being yourself is your greatest strength.' Stephen Romei, The Australian"
