Eek, You Reek!
Poems about Animals That Stink, Stank, Stunk
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.
Warning: this book reeks! It’s rotten, rancid, foul, and funky.
Within these pages, you’ll find stinkbugs, weasels, Tasmanian devils, and a particularly pungent musk ox. Fourteen foul poems from Jane Yolen and Heidi E.Y. Stemple introduce this repugnant selection of animals, and magnificently malodorous illustrations from Eugenia Nobati showcase them in all their noxious glory.
