Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express

Stink's humor and curiosity really stand out. I'm curious what inspired his character traits and how he was shaped to connect with young readers.

The book balances adventure and comedy well, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice to keep kids engaged from start to finish.

The idea is so inventive and fun — I’d love to know where that concept came from and how it was developed into the plot.
