I'm Mighty!

I first received "I Stink" from a friend since my 4 yr. old wants to someday be a garbage man! We then moved onto "I'm Dirty". He loves them both. We just bought this book for his Easter basket, and after reading it myself I'm sure it will be another hit! I brought all three books to my college class (a room full of soon-to-be teachers) and they also loved these books. We all agreed that the font is so much fun, there are great words for beginning readers to read, the story is told in a fun way, AND it teaches children about different types of vehicles. The writing is clever and funny...and there are plenty of opportunities to show children how big font means big voices...my son loves to yell out certain parts that he's memorized. And while these books were bought for my son, my daughter also loves them!

My 3 year old LOVES this book. Also I'm Stinky and I'm Dirty by the same authors. He sits and reads them over and over, even though he can't read yet. :) He has me read them to him, and he "reads" them to me telling me what's in the pictures. My son is one of those who will Not sit still unless it's REALLY worth it. i definately recommend it.

The children at the Library love this one! You should check out the other two books in this series, they're alot of fun too.

I have a Thomas the Tank Engine obsessed 2 1/2 year old, but Mighty the Tug Boat has his ardor when it comes time for bedtime stories. He cheerfully announces "read Mighty!" and thoroughly enjoys the story and the drawings. He traces Mighty's path to the Anchorage, helps me to read the "toot"s and the "vrooms" and the word "tug", and he even is starting to recognize the large-facetype of AARRRUUUGGGGAAAA! (which means "Thank you" in boat). I get to use a silly voice when reading this book, which is fun for me. The typeface and font size and color changes, to give you an idea of what is loud and what is soft, which I haven't seen very much of in children's books. I think it is probably helping with his pre-reading skills (even though I'm mainly focused on just having a fun time reading stories together). I highly recommend this book for the preschool set, especially the ones who like vehicles with facial expressions!

If you loved I STINK! (and who didn't?) you love the McMullans' raucous follow-up. This time it's a tug with attitude that leads the charge and shows that even if your tiny you can be MIGHTY!!! Another hit-- I can't wait to see what the McMullans come up with next!
