Scratch and Sniff: Halloween




 

Scratch and Sniff: Halloween

by Nicola Deschamps
DK Preschool

Who is brave enough to smell the noxious-looking witch's brew? How about taking a whiff of some scary skull pizza? Or do bobbing apples and a pink-striped lollipop seem more your idea of a Halloween treat? Whatever your olfactory fancy, this little Scratch and Sniff Halloween board book has it all. Pumpkins, bats, bed-sheet ghosts, and other classic Halloween icons virtually jump off the page, thanks to DK Publishing's vivid, crisp photographs--and the scents that waft noseward with even the most delicate of scratches. Five two-page spreads, with five powerful fragrances (and minimal text), should keep the youngest trick-or-treater happy while awaiting the big day. (And fear not; the vile green swill in the witch's cauldron does not smell at all like spider toes and lizard tails--more like mint tea, in fact!)

 

Let's Talk:

Ideas to Explore Together

Before you read: Does the pumpkin on the cover have a funny or scary face?

As you read: Encourage your child to sniff each item. Does this smell good to you?

After you read: Which smell did you like the best? Which smell did you think was the worst?
