Review by Booklist Review
Despite nightmares after watching a monster movie about the Glob, Stink takes a shine to his new pet, Mr. Magoo, a slime mold that looks disgusting, smells revolting, and grows. So when it gets sick (suspected cause: Cheese Doodle crumbs), Stink calls in Dr. Judy Moody to save the day. With a title and jacket that are sure to attract readers, this entry in the Stink series offers a good, simple story, along with snappy dialogue, bits of humor, and plenty of information about slime molds. The large-print text and many illustrations make this a highly accessible choice for readers in the early chapter-book stage.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2016 Booklist

Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 2-4-Stink and his big sister, Judy Moody, are back in another adventure. Stink is excited about science and horror movies, which might be an unfortunate combination. His imagination comes into play when he starts growing slime mold as part of a science class. Is his new pet going to take over his bedroom? The house? The world? This amusing romp is performed with great enthusiasm by Amy Rubinate, who creates unique voices for the characters and joyfully carries listeners along on a bouncy flight of fancy. Fans of the series will giggle at the hyperbole and laugh at Stink's relationships with his friends, his sibling, and his new pet slime mold. VERDICT This delightful production should please the target audience.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WA © Copyright 2016.
