The Stinky Giant (Step into Reading)
Description
Pepper and Jake love herding sheep in the little valley where they live. But there's a big problem - Urk, a giant who lives on a nearby mountain, dumps dirty laundry water in the nearby stream, causing a flood every week. Pepper and Jake hike to Urk's lair to confront him, but instead of reasoning, he gives them a cryptic puzzle to solve. If they solve it, Urk will move away; if not, they and their sheep will end up in Urk's smelly soup.
