A scented storybook for the holidays

I spent all morning yesterday baking cookies. And tonight, Emma and I made an apple pie for Thanksgiving. The house smells wonderful! Baking for the holidays reminds me of my next pick:

23. The Sweet Smell of Christmas 
by Patricia M. Scarry

The is a scratch-n-sniff book with a very simple story. The little bear recounts his family's Christmas traditions, smelling the Christmasy smells all the while. I loved this book when I was a little girl, and I was thrilled to find out that it was still being published when I had Emma. Now she loves it too. Sure, there's not much to the story, but the smells keep the kids engaged. It's just so much fun. Emma also loves Little Bunny Follows his Nose, another scented Golden book by Katherine Howard.
