17155 2cc3a2aa-b645-47fd-8c45-849826550d29 Stink and the Incredible Super-Galactic Jawbreaker Megan Mcdonald calibre (0.8.24) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2005-01-02T00:00:00+00:00 <div><p><strong>Spurred by a newfound awareness of false advertising, Stink Moody becomes the proverbial kid in a candy store as his letter-writing campaign yields him heaps of free rewards.</strong></p><p>When Stink buys a mammoth jawbreaker that doesn't break his jaw, he writes a letter of complaint to the manufacturer - and receives a ten-pound box of 21,280 jawbreakers for his trouble! This unexpected benefit of acing the art of letter-writing in school sure gets Stink thinking. Soon Stink is so preoccupied with getting free stuff sent to him that he overlooks a scribbly envelope in the mail pile - until his best friend, Webster, starts acting standoffish and looks as mad as a hornet.</p><p>In this hilarious new episode from Megan McDonald and Peter H. Reynolds, Judy Moody's shorter sibling truly comes into his own. As a delightful bonus for both teachers and kids, thirty-six common idioms - from "two heads are better than one" to "a leopard can't change its spots" - are sprinkled throughout the story; seven of the idioms are humorously illustrated by Stink, and all are listed at the end to inspire a search for idioms that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys. </p></div> Candlewick Press Stink-and-the-Incredible-Super-Galactic-Jawbreaker/Megan-McDonald/e/9780763651893 HiRAiDUUZn8C 9780739335895 8580886 eng Children's Books.K-2
