Starred Review Eek, You Reek!

Poems about Animals That Stink, Stank, Stunk

  • Interest Level: Grade 2 - Grade 5
  • Reading Level: Grade 4

Eek, you reek,
You make a funk.
Where you have been
Things stink, stank, stunk.

You’ve left a path,
A swath of smell,
And—yuck!
You did it very well.

Readers will be delighted by the malodorous melodies of poems calling out the different pungent attributes of a full cast of foul-smelling creatures.
