My Favorite Picture Book

    It was really difficult for me to think back to my childhood and come up with just one favorite picture book. I honestly don't remember a lot about reading them on my own, but there were a few books that I distinctly remember reading all the time. The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka definitely stands out to me as my favorite because I can remember it so vividly. The Stinky Cheese Man twists traditional fairy tales into hilarious re-tellings, like "Little Red Riding Shorts" and "The Really Ugly Duckling," with equally funny resolutions and morals.This book is probably at least partially to blame for my snarky personality. I think it's important to find the humor in things and situations, especially when you're trying to make sense of them as a child. I have many fond memories of reading this book with my younger sister and laughing together. It makes me happy to know that I'll be able to read this book to my nephew and laugh with him like I did with his mother.
