Little Bunny Follows His Nose

My daughter loves to smell everything like flowers, food, candles, soap - you name it. When I saw this book was a cute bunny story combined with 6 scratch and sniff stickers, I was sold. Unlike other reviewers I was never lucky enough to know the original book, so I can't say how much it's gone down hill since I was a child. All I can say is that for right now, not 30 years ago, this is one fantastic story. The scents are all very strong, and they go great with the tale of a bunny spending the day outside "following his nose". My daughter can't get enough of this book. The first time I read it to her I think it blew her mind. She looked at me, smiled and said, "Daddy, why does this book smell good like food?" She made me read it back to back, then she held on to it smelling the pages as I read her other books. I've read it to her every night since. The only thing that bothers me is that the whole "scratch-and-sniff" sticker and book concept seems so 80s now. It is hard to find any decent books or stickers since this "fad" is now a thing of the past. That is too bad, because this is something most adults still remember and cherish from their childhood.

This is a wonderful book! I can remember not being able to read the text when I was younger to go on to learn out to read it as I got older. I loved the scratch and sniff parts of the book. However in the older book the stickers were in the shape of the object to be smelled. Now there are just round stickers. The scents still smell pretty much the same though.

I have a 3 yr old & a 5 yr old...out of there 100's of books that we got at the liberary this is one of the few that they made us go to the store to buy it for them, the 1st one we got was taken everywhere with them, & they lost it & they wanted it replaced right then & there this is the best childrens book I'VE read in a long time. their favorate smell are the cookies,they tell me they wish they could eat them!, anyway this is deffinatly a 5 star book!!!

In my opinion, this book is best appreciated by children who are about three years of age and older. The text is just long enough to challenge the attention span while still maintaining the interest of three-year-olds. Children enjoy smelling the same things that Little Bunny smells as he learns to explore his environment by "following his nose": a rose in the field, the strawberry jam Mouse's mother is making, pine needles in the forest, a peach in the orchard, a dill pickle made by Mother Raccoon. Children are reassured by the fact that, although Little Bunny is exploring far and wide, he encounters a friend in each setting. Little Bunny's nose eventually leads him back to his own house where his mother has been baking chocolate mint cookies. A special bed-time treat in our house is to read this book and enjoy "four chocolate mint (Girl Scout) cookies" just like Little Bunny.This book was one of my favorites as a child. My sister and I read it so often that we wore away several of the scratch-and-sniff stickers. Remembering my fondness for this book, I purchased it for my own children. I am pleased to say that this is now one of my children's favorite books, too. I recommend it highly.

Well when a little bunny leaves to play outside. While he wanders around he meets some of his friends and you are able to smell the smells little bunny does. My favorite part is when he meets up with his friend the field mouse who is making strawberry jam. Mmm!
