Review: "Gracie The Undercover Beagle and Her Sidekick Boston Blackie: Little Miss Stinky (A Little Book for Little Readers)" by Douglas Quinn

The Undercover Beagle known as Gracie is back in Little Miss Stinky. Gracie has her morning routine that she goes through each day at the farm. She checks around the hen house, then moves to the barn which she checks inside and out, and then she moves to the edge of the nearby woods. She goes up and
down the edge of the woods making sure everything is also okay there. It is while she is there that she is alerted to a horrible smell. A smell that not only Gracie smells, but one that Red the Rooster, the dog Boston Blackie, and others all notice and comment upon.

The search for the source of that smell as well as the hunt for a missing animal are the storylines of the latest adventure Little Miss Stinky. Latest in the line of books in the A Little Book for Little Readers by Douglas Quinn is another good. This book features another charming tale as well as short word list to help young readers build vocabulary. There is a certain melancholy to the read for those of us who are aware that the real life inspiration for the series passed while the author was working on this book.

Little Miss Stinky which is part of the Gracie Undercover Beagle and Her Sidekick Boston Blackie series is another good one. Interesting at times and plenty of illustrations make the read a good one not only for kids but the adults in their lives.
