Stinky and his "Mama" move to a beautiful new home and after some trepidation, the loveable bulldog is ready to jump into neighborhood friendships with four legs!

When he arrives at his unfamiliar but exciting surroundings, Stinky ventures out to meet the boys and girls who live nearby. Once the kids in the neighborhood hear that his name is Stinky, however, they crinkle their noses and walk away. Stinky can't understand how they so quickly decide that they don't like him; they don't even know him!

Packed with vibrant illustrations "Stinky the Bulldog" is a touching children's story that teaches the value of accepting people who are different than them, and the wonders of true friendship. It further reinforces the fact that words, regardless of intent, can hurt, yet just as easily, may heal when spoken with thought and compassion.

"Stinky the Bulldog" is written so that children ages three-to-six may have to have an adult read it to them and hopefully, absorb and live by Stinky's life lessons. The goal, according to author, Jackie Valent, is to communicate that the differences in people are what makes them special.
