r Gross What's that Smell? by Ximena Hastings, illustrations by Alison Hawkins, 32 pages EARLY READER Simon and Schuster. 2022. $18. 9781665920766 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Dr. Ick and his dog Sam teach the reader all about smells. Did you know that humans are sensitive to certain smells like bananas and urine? That skunks are some of the smelliest animals, so are stinkbugs? There are plants that smell, and there are cheeses with a strong odor (like Limburger). We even learn why our bodies sometimes stink! 

The title alone makes this a high recommendation. A fun and informative read, this level two Ready to Read book is sure to catch a reluctant reader. Includes an experiment involving stinky socks.
