THE STINKY CHEESE MAN AND OTHER FAIRLY STUPID TALES Publisher: Viking Children’s Books; 56 pages; ISBN: 978-0670063000
SCIESZKA parodies favourite fairy tales and storybook characters like Little Red Riding Hood (Little Red Running Shorts) and the Gingerbread Man (the Stinky Cheese Man). Instead of the sky, it’s the book’s table of contents that Chicken Licken thinks is falling. In the meantime, Red Running Shorts finds out what’s in store for her at Grandma’s cottage and refuses to participate in her story! In 1993, this book won The New York Times’ best illustrated book award and was a Caldecott Honor book.
