Author Information
Eleanor Davis's debut book, Stinky, received multiple accolades, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award and a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year award. Eleanor and Drew Weing, her husband, came up with this story together and shared the drawings on each page. Can you tell who drew what? They bet you can't! They live in Athens, Georgia, with three floppy cats who take turns napping on their drawing tables.
