I Love You Stinky Face is a super cute children's book written by Lisa McCourt and illustrated by Cyd Moore. It is silly and sweet. It is all about a mother telling her child how absolutely unconditionally she loves him (or her). The child asks, Mama, would you still love me if... And gives a different situation, a skunk, a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature, a one-eyed monster, to just name a few. Nothing the child comes up with can stop the mother's love.
To me, the child is drawn androgynously, so it could be a boy or a girl. However, Hubby disagrees. He says it's a boy. The only other "problem" I had with the story was that I felt it was a little too long. I keep feeling that it should end one "What if" sooner. But, I have no idea which one I'd take out.
I Love You Stinky Face is a story with an attention grabbing title, great art and a wonderful message. It leaves you with a happy feeling. It's a great addition to any children's library.
