Re: Official Review: Sigfried's Smelly Socks!

I think it is an amusing book and it sometimes talks about things that I wouldn't really want my kids to read. Most of the time though it just talks about smelly food which my kids found amusing but I found disgusting. So if you don't want your children to read about disgusting food then don't get this, but if you don't mind and want something to keep your kids occupied then I would very much recommend this book.

I definitely agree with you that both parents and children can find this book funny. The illustrations really made the book pop!

Thanks for the fun review. This book seems to be hilarious but I think I'm going to pass. Kids books just don't do it for me anymore.

This is an interesting and hilarious book that parents and young young children would definitely enjoy. The illustrations are eye catching and the narrative is simple. Children would also love to read out loud the rhymes. Thanks for this interesting review.

Its adorable, entertaining, and informative for its audience. I love that authors cover topics that are real with a cute spin. Would love to see what children think of this book.

I'm not sure I appreciate the humor of gross smells as much as some people; and I'm glad you warned me! Great detailed review!

This book sounds super cute! I don't have any children of my own, but I'll have to check it out anyways, just to find out what the smell really is! Illustrations are key in kids books, and it sounds like these ones are up to par.

I think that most kids enjoy a little bit of the gross side of things now and then and it seems like this is a good way to introduce the sense of smell and detective work to those kids while they figure out that smell!

I have read the free part of the book and the introduction is good that the reader will enjoy reading it because of the drawing. That must be the reason why you have done a good review :). The drawing is not as gross as you said its actually kind of cute haha anyway I can't say further enough about your review since I did only read the free part of book. But your review is really good :)

However, I recommend this book to parents and children who find gross things funny, and I recommend this book be avoided by those that are easily put off by rotten food, bodily functions and reading about other gross smells!
This book sounds amazing for several reasons: one of which is the ability to be playful with some of the more unpleasant parts of life. This book is not only humorous, but it also sets up young readers for an important lesson: bad, stinky things happen, but we don't have to let them destroy us!

Bound to appeal to young children. They seem to find great amusement in 'gross things'.

I recommend this for parents and kids who find gross things funny. If used correctly you can turn this story around to explain why we don't do these things. People who are easily offended or simply have never had a son(Lol) should not read this book. It is a fun and colorful book full of great pictures. Kids will love the story.
