Pepper and Jake love herding sheep in the little valley where they live. But there's a problem— a big problem. Urk, a giant who lives on a nearby mountain, is big and stinky and doesn't care that dumping dirty laundry water in the nearby stream causes a flood down below every single week. So Pepper and Jake hike to Urk's mountaintop lair to confront him. But there's no reasoning with a giant, especially one who gives cryptic puzzles to solve. If the kids can solve it, Urk will move away. If not, Pepper and Jake (and their sheep) will be the featured ingredients in Urk's next bowl of smelly soup!

Cute book. My 6 year old and I both liked it. I like that the children in the story were problem solvers. I like that they worked together. I like that they faced a fearful situation to improve their quality of life.
My son got this book for Christmas and read it last night. He is in 2nd grade and struggles a little with reading. He is getting better though. This book was great for him. It combined difficult and easy words throughout the story and built up his confidence with the variety of words.The proper names can be tough some times because they use weird names. But I'm not going to take any stars off for that.
I love these series. But most important that my son does. I got 40+ books and he loves to read them (usually it is not that easy to make him read). I got mix of 2-3-4 levels for the second grader, second level is too easy, but it creates some fun and he reads them with pleasure. Love it, I would recommend it.
There was a little bit of everything in their book, action, adventure, intrigue, humor, bright illustrations and education. My daughter has been standoffish with reading on her, but the stinky giant had what it took to get her to "dive in" all on her own.
I bought granddaughter several books for her birthday (age 4). Some of them are simpler and are ones I thought would be a good start for her 'Ready to Read' or "I can Read" phases, but instead of picking up one of the simpler books, she looked through them until she found the one she wanted: "Stinky Giant". There is something about 'stinky' that makes a 4 year old laugh. She concentrated so intently that I knew it was money well spent - invest in the future. e
We enjoyed reading The Stinky Giant. The story is nicely illustrated and shows critical reasoning skills. Recommended to other friends.
My son reports that this book is funny and that it had good art. He would like to read it again. --Review by 4-year old.
I liked the little kids and the sheep. I didn't like Urk.it was a fun story. - Bobby, age 7
