Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dog lovers will do almost anything for their beloved pets, and they treat them as part of the family. They take them on vacations, send them to doggie day care, buy gourmet food and treats, throw birthday parties for them¿even hold the occasional dog wedding!

It stands to reason that there finally is a scratch and sniff board book for these devoted doggie "parents" to read to their canine "children." See Spot Smell pairs full-color, mouth-watering photos with complementary scents, such as chicken, cheese, leather, and beef.

Made of a durable material, the book will last through countless reading (and drooling) sessions.

Thirty-nine percent of U.S. households (40.6 million) own at least one dog. See Spot Smell provides one more opportunity for them to share quality time with their furry friends.

Cute concept, but some of the pages did not have any smell to them and the book is overly simplistic. More thought could have gone in to the concept before production.

This book was a disappointment for both myself and my dog. Though it arrived completely new, one of the stickers has no smell, two of them smell identical, and most do not match the pictures/words.

Now I realize that my dog does not care if the picture with the word "Cheese" smells like men's cologne (and yes, one of the stickers does have that scent). However only one page, the "Steak" page (scent is reminiscent of bacon) attracted my dogs interest, and she seemed turned-off by some of the others like "Grass" (cedar scent) and "Treat" (garlic scent).

The pictures are great and the format is pleasantly pre-schoolish, but as a scratch & sniff book this product just doesn't deliver.

Frankly my cocker spaniel, renowned for her scenting skills, turned up her nose at every page...could the books have sat on the shelf too long???
