A Scratch & Sniff Night Before Christmas

Clement Clarke Moore

Sterling Publishing Company, 2007 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 24 pages

Peppermints, popcorn, and hot apple cider: with a scratch and a sniff, Clement C. Moore s perennial holiday favorite comes deliciously alive as never before. Populated by animal characters (including a "bear-y" merry St. Nick), every brightly illustrated spread features a different delectable Christmas smell for kids to uncover: spicy nutmeg sprinkled on favorite foods, the aroma of blue spruce trees, the leather reins on Santa s sled, oranges in his sack, and a whiff of warm pie crust.
Cheerful, energetic, and unique, this is sure to be a much-loved volume for many years to come."
