The Stinky Cheese Man: And Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka

5.0

This is like one of five books from my childhood that had a major influence on my taste in literature and art and it was probably the first that made me fall in love with the book as an object. I remember asking the librarian in my elementary school if I could look at it after he read it to my class because I wanted to see all the weird stuff the creators did with fonts and page layouts and the table of contents gag and the blank page in the middle. I mean there are even jokes on the copyright page. As a kid I always knew reading books was fun but The Stinky Cheese Man showed me that creating them could, and should, be fun too.
