Summary: A mother reassures her child that even if he was an alligator or a smelly skunk, she would love him and take care of him.
I read this book right after reading Munsch's "I'll Love You Forever", and this story is a much more successful expresssion of unconditional love. The child in "I Love You Stinky Face" asks his mother if she would still ove him if he were a one eyed monster, a big scary ape, or a green alien and and each time he is assured that she will love hi...more

[Review by Sarah.:]
This is one of my favorite books, in part because we've been reading it since Andy was a baby. Very cute; the mother would love the child even if said child were a super smelly skunk named Stinky Face, a green alien from Mars who ate bugs instead of peanut butter, etc., etc. By the way, the blurb on the back of our copy claims that the child in the book is a boy, but there is nothing in the text or the illustrations to indicate the child couldn't just as easily be a girl.

My kids have all loved this book. They love the fun illustrations. They love the crazy ideas Stinky Face comes up with. I think it strikes a cord because they imagine things too. And they wonder if we'll love them no matter what.
This is a sweet story and one I don't mind reading over and over.

My 3 year old son adores this book as much as I adore reading it to him! It allows us to use "stinky talk" which I try most of the day to NOT allow! It also allows me to share in a sweet way how much I love my little guy, no matter what (he is)! This is a fun book to read....

This book makes me smile because as a kid I love the constant reassurance that my mom would love me NO MATTER what. My kids love it because of all the great illustrations and the fact that it says Stinky Face. I get a little tired of it, but I do love it.

My youngest son absolutely loves this book, and in fact, recites the part of the child in the story as we read it together. It is a fun look at how a mother's love will remain constant, no matter what sort of child she has.

I can only say that I absolutely love this book because of all the fun I have reading this book with my 3yr old nephew. Any book that can make my nephew smile and laugh so much has got to be the work of a literary genius!

By the same author as I Miss You Stinky Face. Just as cute as the other book. If you like the first, you'll like the second. I think my kids enjoyed that the books were similar even though the stories were different.

I read this every night to Jax. He loves it, he gets so excited for every page. This sweet story is really what motherhood is all about. We will love them no matter what! Even if they are a stinky, smelly skunk.

This book is really cute. A little boy asks his mom what she would do if he were a smelly skunk, a slimy swamp moster, etc and of course, the answer is that she would love him no matter what.

Sarah and I love reading this story together. It makes the name "Stinky Face" very endearing. It's true, you love your kids no matter what and you'll do whatever they need you to do.

My sister gave me this book when Addie was born, and I didn't think I'd like it that much, but it is really, really sweet. Maybe its all the hormones, but it almost makes me cry.

My girls have LOVED this book. We got it from the library based on a recommendation and they laugh every time we read it and are now quoting it to me each night. Very fun book!

I LOVE this book! My kids love for me to read this to them. They can relate to the child who has to come up with more scary monsters, or I can see my children in the book :)

Very cute story, fun illustrations. This was over loved in our house to the point I can't put it back together. Probably should replace it, but I haven't yet.

One of our favorite children's books about a mom who loves her son no matter what, even if he's so smelly his name is Stinky face.

One of my favorite kids books. My kids get a kick out of it too. (One of the few I'll read to them more than once a night)
