I Miss You, Stinky Face Book and Audiocassette Tape Set (Paperback)

With the same playful questions and wildly fantastic answers that worked so well in I Love You, Stinky Face, McCourt and Moore play out a small child's anxiety about whether Mama will make it home. What if the airplane forgets to fly? Then she will jump on a camel. But what if . . . ? From hot-air balloon to pirate ship, from shark to spaceship to dragon, Mama is absolutely certain that she will brave desert, jungle, ocean, and black hole in space and return safely to park in the driveway at home with the child she loves. The palette is similar to the bright purple and green of the first book, and the double-page paintings show the child talking to Mama on the telephone while his books and toys take him on the imaginary journeys everywhere. Kids will welcome the reassurance as they laugh at the wild exaggeration and recognize their fears.
