Mr Stink

Product Information

This book shows how significantly that relationship breaks down when you move genre (from fantasy to children's books, for example). Mr Stink himself was in fact a Lord, and became homeless after he lost his home, his wife, and unborn child in a fire, which was an incredibly sad story, and an unexpected one at that. Mr Stink also helped to bring Chloe's family closer together which was a very warming part to the story.

Now what can you buy your homeless friend for Christmas?” said Raj as he scoured around his disorganized shop. “I have a box full of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stationery sets I can’t seem to shift. Yours for only 3.99 pounds. In fact, buy one set, get ten free.” “I’m not sure a tramp really has any need for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stationery set, thanks anyway, Raj.” “We all have use of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stationery set, Chloe. You have your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pencil, your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eraser, your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ruler, your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pencil case, your Teenage Mutant—” “I get the idea, thanks, Raj, but I’m sorry, I’m not going to buy one. I’ve got to go,” said Chloe, edging out of the shop as she unwrapped her Crunchie. “I haven’t finished, Chloe. Please, I haven’t sold one! You also have your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pencil sharpener, your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles notepad, your Teenage Mutant . . . oh, she’s gone.” “And what’s this, young lady?” demanded Mother. She was standing waiting in Chloe’s room. Between her thumb and index finger was one of Chloe’s exercise books from school. Mother held it as if it were an exhibit in a court case. “It’s just my math book, Mother,” said Chloe, gulping as she edged into the room. Much of the vocabulary used is quite complex. This could be a topic for discussion, for exmaple words such as incredulous, immaculately and emblazoned. I would use this book for a group of Year 4 children to encourage them to participate in creating an extended piece of writing. Making attempts to use the key vocabulary within the text.

I was really pleasantly surprised that David Walliams achieved to write such a brilliant children’s books, I’ve always been a fan of his television comedy and the humour and pace of the book doesn’t disappoint. His style is very Dahl-esq which is helped by Quentin Blake’s lovely illustrations.Sure to stir the stomach, Roald Dahl's Even More Revolting Recipes, with excerpts from Roald Dahl's oeuvre, an introduction by Felicity Dahl and recipes by Lori-Ann Newman, features foods from the Continue reading » Candice Lo (21 February 2012). "David Walliams' Mr Stink Comes to BBC One". BBC . Retrieved 3 July 2012. Mr Stink’ is a wonderfully written tale of a young girl called Chloe who befriends a witty tramp called Mr Stink. The two have a lot in common as both are incredibly lonely. Chloe is fed up of her mundane lifestyle and decides to move Mr Stink into the family’s garden shed. This does not go down too well with her Conservative MP running Mother, who would rather ban tramps or “soap-dodgers” as she calls them, from her streets. These four fetching farces chronicle various canine capers of this celebrated pet.

Walliams is a comical genius, as the book is not just an enjoyable read for young children but to be enjoyed by much older children like myself! I would definitely use this book during a Key Stage 2 literacy lesson. I would get children involved in a House of Commons type debate about homelessness on the streets of London and what they would do for homeless people if they were Prime Minister for the day. I think what makes the book quite special though, is that there are some quite serious morality issues within the book such as, prejudice and bullying. However they’re all written in such a way that children can easily understand and hopefully learn from. Based on David Walliams's touching, twisted and hilarious tale of Mr Stink, a homeless man who is befriended by a local girl, Chloe. Chloe sees Mr Stink every day but she has never spoken to him, which isn't surprising because he is a tramp and he stinks.The truth is that once we weren't children anymore, we never did believe Grandpa's story, not really\x97as much as we might have wanted to.... We still loved listening to it, though. Christmas nights Continue reading » The best bits: This was a great read-aloud class book. The children laughed heartily at David Walliams' wordsmithery, and the vivid characters peppered throughout this tale. Come and have a yarn and weave traditional handmade toys under the guidance of Wiradjuri artist Bianca Caldwell and her team of emerging First Nations creatives.

Unsurprisingly Father, or Dad as he preferred to be called when Mother wasn’t around, opted for a quiet life and usually didn’t speak unless spoken to. He was a big powerful man, but his wife made him feel small inside. Dad was only forty, but he was already going bald and starting to stoop. He worked long hours at a car factory on the edge of the town. “Did you hide a sausage in your napkin, Chloe?” demanded Mother. “You are always trying to get me into trouble!” snapped Chloe. This was true. Annabelle was two years younger than Chloe, and one of those children adults think are perfect, but other children don’t like because they are snotty little goodygoodies. Annabelle loved getting Chloe into trouble. She would lie on her bed in her bright pinkroom upstairs and roll around crying, shouting “CHLOE, GET OFF ME! YOU ARE HURTING ME!” even though Chloe was quietly writing away in her room next door. You could say that Annabelle was evil. She was certainly evil to her older sister. Use publishing software to create the leaflets / posters that Chloe’s mum uses to persuade people to vote for her as a Member of Parliament. The illustrations in ‘Gangsta Granny’ by Tony Ross are lovely, however they don’t quite compare with those from the wonderful pen of Quentin Blake in ‘Mr Stink’.
