About the author
Pamela Butchart
84 books116 followersAs a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets and go to a primary school where lots of spooky and weird things happened (well, in her imagination at least). As a student, Pamela’s student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band. Now, when she’s not writing or going out and about meeting readers, Pamela teaches philosophy to teenagers.
Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children’s Book Award. Two of her books, Petunia Peri and There’s a Werewolf in My Tent, were shortlisted for the Lollies – the Laugh Out Loud Awards.
Pamela lives in Dundee with her baby boy and their two awesome cats, Bear & Carlos. If she wasn’t working as a writer and a teacher she’d like to open a luxury hotel for stray cats.

A great book for EYFS and KS1 children. The story follows a smelly dinosaur who ends up having a bath and making lots of fun friends. Children are likely to find the book very funny so would be perfect for a read aloud book. It also has repetition which children can join in with and rhyming which can be used to introduce teaching on rhyming or as a model for children to recreate their own rhyming stories.

Yikes, Stinkysaurus!
The Stinkysaurus is an orange dinosaur that never takes a bath, much to the chagrin of other dinosaurs.
The description of body odors and sounds is particularly repellent, but most kids will find it very funny.
The illustrations are vivid and in bright colors.
A lesson in personal hygiene for preschoolers and kindergarteners.

A book to encourage children to take a bath and be clean. The ending seemed counter productive though.

Every time my grandson spots this at the library it has to come home with us. He giggles all the way through the book as Stinkysaurus learns about personal hygiene. The illustrations are colourful and fun and the rhyming text is engaging and funny. Great for ages 2 - 5.
