Nasty, Stinky Sneakers

Description

Award-winning author Eve Bunting's hilariously fun story about the world's stinkiest sneakers is one kids are sure to love! The competition, friendship, and rivalry make this book a laugh-out-loud story that is perfect for grade school children. Colin has spent weeks perfecting his sneaker odor for the Stinkiest Sneakers in the World contest. If he wins, he'll get three brand-new pairs of Slam Dunkers sneakers: one for himself, one for his little sister, Amy, and one for his best pal, Webster. But now, after weeks of working toward stinky perfection-not washing his feet, wearing no socks, jogging to get his feet juicy, and even sleeping with his sneakers on-the nasty, stinky sneakers are missing!
