This is how the folk tale begins that my group and I are writing for our Scandinavian Children's Lit class. The other main character is Cleanly Lenny- Dirty Danny's only friend. After Danny's stench kills all the flowers at Lenny's house (Lenny's parents are florists) Danny is exiled, but his dear friend Lenny goes with him. They take a journey and meet 3 trolls along the way who each point out a different aspect of Dirty Danny's unhygienic-ness and by the end of the journey Danny is no longer dirty! He then returns to the village and Danny is un-shunned. At least, that's how I think it all happens- we haven't actually written it yet.
I love college.
Thats a kids book waiting to be made. I can draw trolls for you.
