There"s nothing like the aroma of Christmas: pine boughs, chocolate Santas, spice cookies... Capture the fragrant delights of the holiday with this delightful little board book. "Can you smell the mint in these colorful candy canes?" Scratch and sniff the canes for a cool whiff of mint. The brightly photographed images of the season--holly, cheery red stockings stuffed with teddy bears and candy, a tree decked out with ornaments--and the simple accompanying text make this novelty book a perfect Christmastime gift, guaranteed to get even Grinches and Scrooges in a festive spirit. Once you"ve got the scratch and sniff bug, you"ll want to check out Dorling Kindersley"s Scratch and Sniff Halloween (also by Stephen Shott), Scratch and Sniff Garden, Scratch and Sniff Food, and others.
