Kiwi Magazine Review:
If you’re going to create a scratch n’ sniff reading experience for children, we can think of no better scratchers or sniffers than dogs. Mo is a rescue dog who takes his readers on a journey of the senses, particularly scents. The author wisely lets the reader place scented stickers throughout the book as they choose, rather than overwhelming us with pages of spicy pumpkin or sweet candy scents. We are particularly excited that she opted out of ‘wet dog,’ ’something dog rolled in,’ and ‘other unidentified dog scents.’

Product Description:
The creators of the “Mo’s Nose” series, author, Margaret Hyde and illustrator, Amanda Giacomini, have released Mo Smells the Holidays, their highly anticipated third book in the series of collectible books. Mo, based on a real life rescued dog, takes readers of all ages on a “scentsational” adventure through vibrant holiday scents and hues from the first leaves of fall to the fireworks of New Year’s Eve! Mo’s journey through the holiday season emphasizes giving rather than receiving as Mo brings Halloween treats to his friends at the animal shelter and lends a paw at a local soup kitchen. Mo and his new-found four- and two-legged friends sniff their way through a kaleidoscope of festive aromas and discover the true spirit of holiday giving.
