The Big Stink

by Fran Manushkin, Tammie Lyon (Illustrator)

Overview

Something smells terrible in Miss Winkle's classroom, and no one knows what it is! When the class bully picks on the new boy, saying he's the smelly one, Pedro steps in and stands up for his new friend. But the class still needs to know where that stench is coming from! Like all Pedro books, the story is supported with a glossary and reader response questions, making this a fun and functional choice for libraries.

Tammie Lyon, the illustrator of the Katie Woo and Pedro series says that these characters are two of her favorites.


Tammie has illustrated numerous books for children, creating work for Disney, Scholastic, Simon and Schuster, Penguin, HarperCollins and Amazon Publishing to name a few.


She has turned to writing and illustrating her own titles as well. Her first Picture Book Olive and Snowflake was released to starred reviews from Kirkus and School Library Journal.
