When Stink Moody begins preparing for his science test the next day, he realizes he has to stuff his brain with facts about all the planets in the solar system. Stink only knows about Saturn, so he decides to get help from big sister Judy Moody. Of course, he's hoping Judy is in a good mood so she'll actually be helpful. Judy is busy plumbing her artistic talents by creating a masterpiece out of Already-Been-Chewed gum. At first she is reluctant to help her little brother study, but Stink manages to butter her up with some flattering words about her high intelligence.

The deciding factor, though, is that Stink gives Judy permission to boss him around everyone knows how much Judy enjoys that. Right away, Judy assists Stink by teaching him how to remember the names of all the planets.

However, the next day's test results are a huge disappointment to the budding planet scholar. He learns that the Pizza in Judy's memory sentence is a problem. Stink is more disappointed than might be expected about Pluto's downgrading. After all, Stink is the smallest kid in his class.

Stink Solar System Superhero

Pluto is his second-favorite planet he is loyal to Saturn , and he begins wondering what he can do to help this underdog ex-planet. Meanwhile, Nick, the new kid in school, and Stink bond over their mutual distress over "The Pluto Problem. The two smelly-nicknamed boys put their heads together to come up with a new saying to remember the official planets plus the dwarf planets that way, Pluto is not excluded again. Although Stink's teacher is impressed with the boys' mnemonic sentence, the class's know-it-all, Riley Rottenberger, seems determined to squelch their pleasure.

Riley even wears a t-shirt dissing Pluto and tells jokes that put the poor ex-planet down. She thinks she knows everything about space because she attended Space Camp. Their disagreement leads to an interesting solution suggested by their teacher: But can the "Pluto Heads" make their points about why Pluto should still be a planet against Team Kick Pluto's Behind's arguments against planethood? Filled with tons of fascinating facts about the planets, and funny and wonderful illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds I particularly enjoyed the comics dedicated to each of the solar system's planets not to mention a lively plot starring likable Stink Moody STINK: Highly recommended for early readers, reluctant readers, or anyone who loves a good story filled with plenty of laughs and facts.

Really a great book with a hilarious storyline! My son really enjoyed reading this book and learning interesting facts about different plants! One of his favourite Stink book! Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. What a fantastic fun educational read! My kids loved it and it was too much fun having them argue and take sides with Riley and Stink!

The book had the wrong chapter in it! Chapter 6, and then there were five was not in the book. It was replaced with Chapter six from the next book in the series. My son failed his AR test because he didn't realize it until he finished his test.

See a Problem?

My 7 and 9 year old children both enjoy this series. My son loves this and is looking forward to reading more of this series. Got these for my 6 year old son. He doesn't really like to read so I had hoped he would be encouraged by the "Stink" books.

    Stink is flabbergasted when he gets his science test back and is told Pluto is no longer a planet, even Judy, his older sister, can't believe it. Stink gets his fa Reason for Reading: Stink gets his facts straight and insists that even if it is a "dwarf" planet then it still is a planet. When the resident Space expert in his class teases him and regales him with all the reasons why Pluto is not a planet, the teacher breaks in and explains that they both are right. Scientists took a vote to send Pluto packing, but some scientists still believe Pluto should counted as a planet.

    She then assigns Stink and "Space Camp" Riley to a debate the next week and their class will have their own vote on whether Pluto is a planet. A truly delightful book. As my first introduction to Stink, I was taken with him right away and can understand why my son enjoys his books so much. At the end of each chapter was a comic page with information about each of the planets in order based on the mnemonic saying "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" which was very interesting and extremely humorous.

    I have to say I particularly liked the stance the author took on Pluto, acknowledging the ongoing debate, showing both sides equally. I wish all books on science topics did the same! An amusing and entertaining first chapter book, that could be read aloud to younger children and will hold the interest of older reluctant readers.

    I'll have to make sure I get books read before another new one comes out as I won't be missing out on Stink's adventures any more! Apr 01, Alice rated it it was ok Shelves: I read this with my son when he was in 4th grade.

    On the plus side, it is a fun book in a fun series. It was a fun way to review the planets. The key conflict of the book: This was not the outcome I was expecting! Basing a planet's definition on emotion and popular vote is hardly scientific. Until I pointed it out, my son had no problem with this method, reinforcing the idea that we should base definitions on I read this with my son when he was in 4th grade. Until I pointed it out, my son had no problem with this method, reinforcing the idea that we should base definitions on how we FEEL and what we think is "fair" like Pluto CARES that it has been demoted to a dwarf planet instead of scientific definitions and logical arguments.

    I appreciate this, as scientists find out all the time that the theories they present to the public as "facts" they must later revise or completely change when new things come to light. I get tired of a few scientists theories being the only way of looking at things when many competing theories are out there or will be out there with new findings. Check out different children's books on dinosaurs over the last 50 years for example. DON'T believe everything you are told, but DO use reason to understand the scientific world, not feelings.

However - in this I was pleasantly surprised!

It had none of the stupidity and potty humour that I've come to expect of books targeted at this age group but instead a shockingly funny, and very informative I even learned a few things - which, considering I spend the better part of my work life on Wikipedia reading about the solar system is really saying something! After getting a bad grade on his science test, Stink sets off to find out just why Pluto got kicked out of the solar system.

    Since he doesn't think that a weird orbit is good enough reason to discriminate against anyone, his teacher allows him to have a class debate to determine whether Pluto should be a planet or not.

    He appreciates the humor and I appreciate the gentle messages and cohesive narratives. On to Stink 6! Jan 05, Molly rated it it was amazing. Apr 21, Anthony rated it liked it. Stink, while at the nurse's office missed out on an important fact needed for his science test. This led to a great debate in class if Pluto should still be considered a planet or just the number Stink's team versus the class know-it-all, Riley Rottenberger, and her team debate the issue, and the class votes to decide which team presents the best argument.

    May 13, Sheri S. Kind of a fun book I think Stink is sort of growing on me. One of the redeeming factors of these books are the factoids they contain related to the title of the book. I remember enjoying learning about the solar system as a kid, and imagine I probably would have liked this book as a kid. The interactions between the children in the book are amusing, especially the argument about whether Pluto is a planet or not.

    Critic Reviews

    Jan 17, Karen rated it liked it. This book was just the right level for my second grade son, and it was funny, and he loved the darling illustrations, but I did not like this book. I didn't like the meanness in this book, or the sneakiness, or the end result of the 'vote'.

    Jul 18, Melissa Namba rated it liked it Shelves: What a fantastic fun educational read! My kids loved it and it was too much fun having them argue and take sides with Riley and Stink!

May 07, Oliver rated it it was amazing. Sep 06, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: Really great way to learn about planets with a pretty thorough, for kids, explanation why Pluto was cut.

    Jul 09, Lisa rated it liked it Shelves: Stink gets a big red X on his Science test because he never heard the teacher say that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. He is outraged that Pluto has been demoted to dwarf planet status and is determined to reverse Pluto's fortune.
