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.

What a beautiful book! My kids really enjoyed this, and loved guessing what the correct answer would be!!

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.
