Lovely little book with great illustrations. Lots of repetition which is great for children. Also a great book to encourage discussion. Only comment is the touch of religion in the book. Okay if your the parent who decides that your happy with this but harder if its another person reading with the child. Would also like to see the recipe at the back of the book

This book was cute and sweet. My 5 year old daughter enjoyed it. The only part I didn't like was the layout of the book on my kindle, but other than that, the story itself was sweet and I look forward to more books to read with my daughter.

Thank you Netgalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

What is your favorite smell, mommy? Laundry, coffee, vanilla...dirty diapers? In this sweet picture book, one child asks her mother what her favorite smell is to find out what makes her most happy. In the end, she learns the blessing of having the sense of smell and why mommy loves certain smells more than others.

As a first time mom, I loved reading the sweet incantations of a small child asking her mother what her favorite smells were throughout the day. It was a wonderful depiction of how children look up to their parents and care about what their parents love. The connection between the mom and daughter in this story was lovely and precious. Some of the questions the little girl asked were humorous and true-to-life and some were downright beautiful. I would recommend this picture book to all of my mom friends. I will be reading it to my own daughter as well.

This book is set to be published on October 1, 2019.

I enjoyed the cute illustrations, repetition (perfect for preschoolers) and great vocabulary words having to do with smell (fragrance, aroma, etc). This is definitely a book I'd read for a 5 senses theme, and I like that it includes discussion questions in the back, as well as a recipe.

I wasn't super impressed with the story. I like that it teaches you to consider all the different smells you smell everyday but the story was a little off. It was too wordy for a repeating story. If that makes sense. The end was also very predictable. My favorite thing was the beautiful watercolorish illustrations. 💕🎨

Cute illustrations and idea for a story, but the writing was odd and did not flow well. The repetition was a bit boring and I found myself skipping most of the words. Great idea, but could use a bit of editing suggestions.

I loved the simplicity of this beautiful book. Colourful, fun and engaging. Your child is bound to love this book instantly. Also includes a great cookie recipe.

This book was so sweet and the pictures were beautiful. I could tell at the beginning what her favorite smell would be, because it's the same smell this momma loves best too!
