Amazon.com Review

Who is brave enough to smell the noxious-looking witch's brew? How about taking a whiff of some scary skull pizza? Or do bobbing apples and a pink-striped lollipop seem more your idea of a Halloween treat? Whatever your olfactory fancy, this little Scratch and Sniff Halloween board book has it all. Pumpkins, bats, bed-sheet ghosts, and other classic Halloween icons virtually jump off the page, thanks to DK Publishing's vivid, crisp photographs--and the scents that waft noseward with even the most delicate of scratches. Five two-page spreads, with five powerful fragrances (and minimal text), should keep the youngest trick-or-treater happy while awaiting the big day. (And fear not; the vile green swill in the witch's cauldron does not smell at all like spider toes and lizard tails--more like mint tea, in fact!) (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly

In Scratch and Sniff Halloween, a simple text and full-color photographs dare children to sniff a "big, spooky pumpkin" and "scary, skull pizza." Also available in the same format, Scratch and Sniff Christmas offers yuletide scents.

This review is from: Scratch and Sniff: Halloween (Board book)

This book is wonderful! Very fragrant pages that last (even though my kids licked a few!). This line of scratch & sniff by DK is far better than any other I have purchased. If they release any more (I have ALL) I would order them right away!

This review is from: Scratch and Sniff: Halloween (Board book)

I introduced my daughter to the world of scratch and sniff, and she is hooked. Unfortunately there are not a lot of good scratch and sniff books out there. DK seems to do a great job at them, so that's why we bought this book months before Halloween. We've had so much fun reading and smelling this book, the scents are truly divine. I agree with the other reviewer though, and we couldn't smell the lollipop on the last page either. Too bad... but we still loved the book!

This little book is a great way to introduce Halloween to little ones. My daughter is 2 1/2 and loves this book. Except for the lollipop on the last page which is very faint all the scents are wonderful. The apple smells so realistic that my daughter has licked the page a couple of times thinking that she will be able to taste her favorite fruit!
