A play by John Glore based on the book.
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales is a postmodern children’s book written by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith.[1] Published in 1992 by Viking, it is a collection of twisted, humorous parodies of famous children’s stories and fairy tales, such as “Little Red Riding Hood”, “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Gingerbread Man”. The book won The New York Times Best Illustrated Book award, was a Caldecott Honor book in 1993,[2] and has won numerous other awards in various countries.

The book has proved to be popular with children and adults and is considered an American classic, as its lighthearted approach creates interest while educating young readers about some of the features of books (such as title and contents) by poking fun at those conventions.

The book was re-released in a 10th-anniversary edition in 2002 and included a new story, a parody of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” on the dust jacket.
