A Dare to Scratch ‘n’ Sniff Mystery
Written and Illustrated by Monica Arnaldo
This book might be the worst…IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY!
There has been a robbery in the Museum of Very Bad Smells. The Rotten Egg has disappeared. It is up to the reader to find the suspect and return the egg back to the exhibit before the museum’s grand opening.
Kids will be frantically turning the pages to solve the mystery and smell the next gross scratch ‘n’ sniff. I dared to sniff this book and I survived. My instincts tell me kids are going to have a riot smelling some of the world’s worst smells! My only fear is that after a few checkouts the scents will fade away. I hope not, because I predict this will be one of the highest circulation picture books in my library this year.
