Description
Everyone smells! The sense of smell plays a crucial part in survival, communication, and taste, and is the basis of a multi-billion-dollar industry. But, despite all this, it’s the sense we often know least about.
This hilarious and fact-packed book puts that right. Find out everything you could ever want to know about stinks, whiffs and pongs, from the fruit so pungent it's banned from public transport to the top-secret military programme that developed the stinkiest stink bombs.
For ages 7-11

This is a great book for young readers who love science and exploring the senses. The fun facts were interesting, and I loved the illustrations and the quiz and list of vocabulary words at the back of the book. "You Smell!" is both fun and educational.
