Chapter endnotes cheer readers on by marking their progress with the number of chapters—and sometimes the number of words—that they’ve just read. Attention-grabbing phrases such as “layered slime cookies,” “snot bubble,” and the “forklift of doom” will have young readers giggling. Hargis wraps up the fun by suggesting three “Super Stinky Games” readers can play that promise to engage their creativity.
