Ebooks Online

Stink needs a sport, fast! Can his alter-ego, Shark Hammersmash, wrestle a win at thumb wars? Or will a perfect karate kick lead him to victory?(Ages 5-8)Stink Moody, family brain, brings home a report card that isn’t perfect? Yikes! Time for him to get into fighting shape and beat back that U for Unsatisfactory in gym! A scan of the sports channel leads to a knock-out find: world-class thumb wrestling, with tricky moves like Snake in the Grass and Santa’s Little Helper (no equipment needed, save for a tiny terrifying mask to sit on your thumb). But when Mom and Dad are not wowed, Stink gets another idea: he’ll kick and punch his way to a yellow belt with the help of a Dragon Master, a seeing-eye Moose, and a mind as still as a pond. Can you say Crouching Tiger, Hidden Thumb? Hee-ya! Ha! Ha! Ha!

As usual, Stink is quite excited to be receiving his report card. Report Card Day happens to be one of his favorite school days. He's tempted to take a peek at his wonderful grades, but his teacher reminds him that he can only open the envelope with a parent present. The anticipation is almost too much to bear, but Stink finally makes it home with his report card envelope intact. At home, with both parents admiring his many "Outstandings", Stink asks when they're going to hang it on the fridge in the Moody Hall of Fame. That's when he notices a certain stunned silence from his parents, who have quit smiling. Stink can't believe his eyes. He has gotten an "Unsatisfactory" grade in Physical Education!When Stink protests that he loves sports, Judy points out that he loves "sports" such as driving his racecar bed, collecting baseball cards, and watching games on television. Stink replies that he is small for his age and could easily be damaged in a real-life game, but his parents request that he find a sport he wants to play. They point out that he needs exercise, fresh air and fun --- all things he'll be able to enjoy when he finds the sport he likes.So Stink goes looking for a sport he would enjoy. He browses through a variety of possible activities (illustrated to great effect in one of several cartoon panels throughout the book). But he eventually says no to pogo badminton, tuna-tossing, cheese-rolling, unicycle hockey, and other unique sports. Then he learns that thumb-wrestling is the latest craze. He doesn't have to buy equipment and can play it anywhere. Hmm, out of all those choices, this one is sticking out like a (sorry) sore thumb!Stink watches several thumb-wrestling competitions.
