Stink Moody and his friends, Sophie and Webster, are trying to make a replica of the Great Wall of China using cereal boxes. But as they finish building it, it starts moving and as they investigate they discover it is making strange sounds also. The sound it is making is wee, wee, wee, wee. And the three children discover 3 Guinea pigs. And that is the beginning of a grand adventure of the 101 guinea pigs and the Great Guinea Pig Express. The chapters in this book are:

Stink Moody (AKA Judy's younger brother) has his own series and kids are devouring them. Written by Megan McDonald (the same author as the Judy Moody series) Stink has his own pals and his own escapades. In the fourth book of the series Stink and his friends happen upon Mrs. Birdwhistle and her overabudance of guinea pigs who need homes. While the book can be classified as contemporary realistic fiction there are a few far-fetched ideas thrown in here and there. (Example: Kids going on a short v...more

I loved it! Also, I learned lots of interesting facts about guinea pigs.
Along with the (fascinating) nonfiction comics, there were lots of opportunities to suspend my disbelief. The pet shop owner had a driveable trailer just waiting to be cleaned and turned into a rescue van? Check! She's totally into the idea of three second-graders (?) using it as a mobile adoption center? Check! She then wants to take them on a road trip to her guinea-pig rescue center friend in Virginia?

Stink is a very popular character with students and after reading this book I can understand why. Stink and the rest of the characters in this book are all very likable and fun. Stink and his friends help Mrs. Birdwhistle from the local pet store find homes for 101 guinea pigs that she has rescued. The kids come up with a creative solution to finding homes for so many guinea pigs. Not only is their solution creative, but it is also a lot of fun for them. The book also gives some interesting fact...more
Gr 1–3—Stink is back. This time, he and friends Webster and Sophie are working on a cereal-box re-creation of the Great Wall of China when the youngsters discover some mysterious guinea pigs hiding in one of the boxes. They figure out that the animals escaped from the local pet store. Store owner Mrs. Birdwistle informs the kids that she has rescued 101 guinea pigs but can't keep them all. Immediately, Stink and company volunteer to help find homes for them. With funny, and at times quite witty,...more
Stink Moody is one of my favorite characters in children's literature today. When he, Webster and Sophie of the Elves embark on saving a bunch of guinea pigs in the Squeals on Wheels van, oh what fun they have! The guinea pig facts included in this book are very interesting and kids loved hearing those. I know that I learned a lot by reading them! This book makes for a great read aloud. I read it to my 2nd graders who are guinea pig crazy and it was a hit!
I am a huge fan of Judy Moody, but I have a hard time getting my son interested in any book with a female main character. So, I had to check out this early chapter book about Moody's little brother Stink. I just finished reading this out loud to my son, and he laughed so hard that he had hiccups for 20 minutes afterwards. Though I didn't feel the same personal connection with Stink as I did with his sister, this book was winner in my son's eyes.
This was just as fun as all of McDonald's other books, this one starring Stink, instead of Judy. Join him and his friends as they find, capture and help find good homes for 101 guinea pigs. They help Mrs. Birdwhistle of Fur & Fangs save these creatures and create a travelling guinea pig home to help get them adopted.
In the book Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express, Stink, Webster, and Sophie try to give away guinea pigs. The story starts when a boy named Stink and his friends make a Wall of Cereal Boxes instead of the Great Wall of China. This book was great because of the cute, cuddly, furry guinea pigs.
The fact that authors can whip out so many of these little chapter books usually means the writing isn't that great. But it's good enough for little boys to get them reading. My 7 year old really likes these Stink books. We listened to this one in the car and the voices were great.
I lovd this book! It was a cute book that teaches teamwork and finding homes for animals! It was a greta transitional book that would be easy for children to get through. I believe it will have a place in my classroom one day! Great for grades 2 and 3.

This one was pretty cute. I think there might be a rush of kids wanting guinea pigs after. Not quite as good as the sneaker one, which is my favorite of the four Stink books.

Judy Moody's brother, Stink, in another adventure...this time involving 101 guinea pigs! Will they be able to find homes for all of the adorable creatures? Will Stink be able to keep one for his very own?
this book was okay. this book is about when stink and his 3 friends found 3 guinea pigs. so Stink and his three friends took care of them and raised them. so in the end they let there let there guinea pigs in the wildderness
Stink is lovable. Add in a guinea pig storyline and it is just perfect. Not just for boys though, everyone will love this series.
Definitely my favorite in the series (thus far.) How can anyone not like a book where there is a long haired guinea pig named "Scarlett O'Hairy"?
well it stardid like the men kriktr was a boy nemd stink and He brang tus of sireul boxs to webstrs house becouse ty wre going to make a wall with sireul boxes bot some had gene pigs
Cute kid book. Read to my 5 year old and she loved it. Appropriate kid humor and funny illustrations throughout.
If I had read this book, I would have given it a four. As an audiobook, several of the voices grated.
The boys really liked this character and thought the story line was funny. I enjoyed it too.
it was ok, i guess. cute when i was a little kid, but even then it wasn't too good.
I love this book SO much! It's so fun, so cool, so good. I wish I had a guinea pig.
I liked the chapter book with pictures at the beginning of each chapter.
The guinea pigs in this book were really cute! This was my favorite Stink book!
Okay, I love guinea pigs and i love Stink. Could this book get any better?
This was MUCH better than the stinky sneakers book.
i like the book because i lovvvvvvvvve animals!!!!
It was so good I read it twice!
I think my 3rd and 4th graders will like it.

"Sometimes I think I am Judy Moody," says Megan McDonald, author of the Judy Moody series, the Stink series, and THE SISTERS CLUB. "I'm certainly moody, like she is. Judy has a strong voice and always speaks up for herself. I like that."
For Megan McDonald, being able to speak up for herself wasn't always easy. She grew up as the youngest of five sisters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her father, an...more
