Celebrate the Stinky Cheese Man's Birthday!

On the back flap of the children's book The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales (a collection of "fractured fairy-tales") Jon Scieszka, the author, tells us he and Lane Smith, the illustrator, celebrate the Stinky Cheese Man's birthday on the second Monday of February. This year it falls on February 11th.

To help you with this festive occasion, here is a list of books that Scieszka and Lane collaborated on:
