On Saturday, Aug. 5, Josh Funk was signing books at the Merritt Bookstore table at the Millbrook Farmers and Makers Market. Funk’s books for children include “The Case of the Stinky Stench,” the Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast series, the “It’s Not a Fairy Tale” series,  and “My Pet Feet.” Funk, who lives in the Boston area, starting writing children’s books because he didn’t like the way many of the classic stories ended, so he wrote stories the way he wanted them to finish. Since 2015, he has spent time in over 700 schools, classrooms and libraries, talking to children and answering their questions. He studied computer science and is a software engineer when he is not writing for youngsters or paying them visits.
