Books : The Sweet Smell of Christmas (Scented Storybook)
Rating: 
- Childhood Favorite
I owned this book when I was young. It was my favorite book to read at Christmas, not only because it is entertaining, but the "scratch and sniff" differentiates it from the numerous other books that are out around the holidays. I still can recall the specific scents used in the book. I have bought it for young children in my family and hope it is as memorable for them as it was for me.
Rating:
- Great for a Sniff & Smell
I purchased 3 Sniff & Smell books for Christmas time and found this one to be the best. Although the story is a bit wordy for my toddlers (I paraphrase when I read it to them) The scents are the best of the 3 books I purchased. Well worth the extra dollar. Very nice story as well.

- Smell does not last...
It's a cute story. Not a classic by any means, but it is cute.
The stickers do not last. The only sticker that still smells is the Christmas tree. This book has been packed away from January to November. Not used at all during that time. Again, only the pine has a scent to it.
Very disappointing. Replacement stickers would be nice!

- Not so smelly scratch and sniff
I purchased this book for my daughter for Christmas. When it first arrived we enjoyed the story along with the scratch and sniff stickers that did initially release a scent. Within 4 weeks of first opening this book, most of the stickers had lost their scents. I must add that it had only been read about 5 times during this month. I noticed from the reviews that this has been a problem for many purchasers. The story is cute, but without the scratch and sniff portion, you may as well get a different Christmas book. I wrote a letter to the publisher to complain and never got a response. I would not recommend buying this edition.

- scratch & sniffs defective :-(
My child loves this book ( she assumes it is the Little Bear from the TV series she loves too) and after enjoying it at someone else's house, I bought it only to find only one of the scratch & sniff stickers that works (the pine tree). One was entirely missing (chocolate) , and the rest have absolutely no smell and are shiny like they never had the microencapsulated smell particles applied. Such a disappointment, since the story is all about smelling the smells! Seems like others have had this problem too.
I decided to buy smell stickers myself from a website and put them in the book. More expensive, but at least it will work for sure. We will have to get by with cinnamon smell for the gingerbread boy as I couldn't find gingerbread stickers.
I also wrote to Random House, but am not really expecting them to have replacement stickers.
