Grosse Adventures, The Volume 2: Stinky & Stan Blast Off!
Product Description
When aliens from outer space land on the roof of Stinky and Stan’s home, will it be the beginning of the war of the worlds? Nonsense! These aliens worship the Grosse brothers for their farting abilities–the gas that the boys boldly blast causes plants to grow and flowers to bloom on the aliens’ planet. But upon inspection of the boys’ room, the aliens are presented with quite a fright… Hold your nose and hang on for an out-of-this world adventure!… More >>
I taught school for 30 years and I would loved to have had these Gross-E books available for my reluctant boy (and girl) readers. They are well written, clever, organized, outrageous and FUN! Parents and teachers will need to get over the use of the word ‘fart’, buy the books and watch your boys read and read! This second in the series is even better than the first.

My sons and I are delighted with the 2nd in the Stinky & Stan seires. Not only are they fun and fast paced, but there are great pictures that are fun, too. I can’t wait for the next adventure. My kids even dubbed one of the stuffed Rhinos they have the Grosse Rhino and he farts (noise gleefully provided by the boys).

The great thing about the Grosse brothers is that they’re not just all about the farts. They’re intrepid problem-solvers, they face all the travails of kids their age (sibling rivalry, school competition) with courage and integrity, and they support and encourage each other. Who knew that a story about intestinal gas could have a moral backbone? But to the grouchy reviewer who didn’t get it: it’s not Proust, dude. It’s a whimsical story set in a slapstick fantastical world, geared towards beginning readers (the comic book panel inserts are especially good). That the author manages to compress so much exciting plot and unusual characters into a short number of pages is a testament to her ability and vision. The Grosse brothers are not just a one-fart pony!

This is my son’s favorite book! He wants to read it almost every night, which is terrific, since he isn’t much of a reader. We both really enjoy the funny situations those guys get into and the creative way they solve problems (use your strength – farting!). I can’t wait for the next one to come out. Go Grosse!
It rings true for normal kids, and adults, since grossing people out is pretty much what guys do – it is a art form for some, especially Stan, our hero. I am glad we found a book and an author that can make us laugh.
