(1) 1-3 Illustrated by Lane Smith. A new dust jacket features a full-page headshot of the Stinky Man himself on the front and a smooth sales pitch from Jack on the back. Libraries will be disappointed to miss out on the double-sided jacket, the inside of which contains the Long-Lost Fairly Stupid Tale "The Boy Who Cried Cow Patty" along with some obligatory squawking from the Little Red Hen about this "Special Ten Year Anniversary Edition."
