Little Bear can smell it, so can you! The air is filled with the aroma of gingerbread cookies, minty candy canes, the piney Christmas tree, and yummy hot apple pie, bringing back so many sweet memories from generation to generation. |

This was my favorite book as a child. Now that I have a daughter, I thought for sure that it was still at my parent's home. I was disappointed to not find it. I went to order it and it is out of print. Please publish this wonderful classic again. I would surely buy several copies for my daughter, all young relatives and one for myself. I can still smell the hot chocolate, candy canes and pine tree. This is the greatest book and deserves to be in print again to be enjoyed from generation to generation. |

When he was six, my little brother got this book for Christmas. Scratch and sniff was relatively new, and we were amazed at the lovely fragrances of orange, cocoa, and apple pie hidden inside this book! We both hated the pine, like another reader. I have read that scent is the most evocative sense, bringing back the past. When I found out this book was again available, I bought it for my now adult brother for Christmas. Of course he remembered it, just like me. Get this book for any youngster for a Christmas gift, I promise it will provide Holiday memories that will last a lifetime. |

I had this when I was a child and absolutely loved it (I'm 36 now). I use to read it constantly. I still have the original copy but it's so worn out. So when I found that it's still available brand new I nearly had a heart attack! I bought one for my 3 year old and he loves it too. The scratch-n-sniff is what really makes it so special. A very cute and unique book for kids. Takes about 5 minutes to read if you don't factor in all the smelling time! It's exactly the same as my first one and I still love it after all these years. |

This book is amazing. I cannot remember a Christmas that did not involve this book, the smell of the apple pie, the pine tree, the hot cocoa, the orange, the gingerbread... I even tried to lick the stickers when I was little and had to replace them with regular scratch and sniff stickers that had the same smell! I still have mine but just as I got Angelo his own copy of Little Bunny Follows His Nose (also awesome!), I am getting him his own copy of this book for Christmas this year. I will write a note under the front cover and hope that he has this book until he can read it to his own kids someday and maybe even get them a copy of their own. I love this book and it has made fond memories for both my mother and I and I hope it will make some nice memories for my son as well! If you are looking for a book to buy for a grandchild or for someone who is expecting their first baby, this is perfect (I might even get one for my niece too!) and is a book that will start a tradition of years and years of holiday reading... and scratch and sniffing. Enjoy! |

As a kid, this book was my absolute favorite and I read and re-read it year after year until the scratch n' sniffs were all out of smell. This book embodies all of the wonder of the Holiday Season, as seen through the eyes of a child. What could be more wonderful than the smell of apple pie baking on Christmas Eve or of the juicy orange nestled in the top of your stocking? When this fabulous book was reissued last year, I immediately bought a copy, so that I could share it with my son, who was a little over two at the time. Reading this book brought back all of the great memories of my own childhood Christmases and my son was delighted, as well. This is truly a classic to be handed down from generation to generation. |

This book brings back so many memories! When I was growing up as a little girl, my mother would read this book to me. It was always kept in one of our boxes of Christmas decorations that we stored in our attic (to decorate for Christmas). Over the Thanksgiving holidays, Mom would bring it out to read to me. I loved the book so much that I think she read it to me at least once a day every day until New Year's! It was my favorite book in the world! I loved the illustrations of little bear, but my favorite part was the scratch-and-sniff smells. I can close my eyes today and still remember the Christmas smells from the book! Now that I've grown up (I'm 25 years old now.), my mother has put the book in a chest that she keeps all my favorite things when I was growing up. I know the book looks worn now (especially the scratch-and-sniff parts), but I hope to purchase another copy of the book this Christmas to put away and keep for my son(s) and/or daughter(s) in the future. This book is perfect for children. They can smell the smells of Christmastime and will remember it for years to come, just as I have. |

When my son was born, I went looking for this book. "The Sweet Smell of Christmas" was an essential part of Christmas to me as a child, and I was so eager to share it with my son. When I couldn't find it, I tried purchasing several other scratch-and-sniff Christmas books. There was no comparison! Bland, barely-there scents (some disgusting - like soap! Hmmm, real Christmas spirit there) and all lacked the wonderful story that conveyed the excitement of Christmas preparations at the Bear household. I finally found my copy from 1973 last year. It smelled better than the other books I'd bought, but the scents were really faded. I am soooo excited to be able to buy a new copy for my son, and I am so happy that Golden Books re-published this classic of Christmas. |

I am so thrilled that this wonderful book from my childhood is now in print again. I can finally share it with my daughter. I don't know if I'm more excited or if she will be when it arrives. Thank you again, you made my day! |

As a child, I received this book for Christmas when I was two years old. It was my favorite book. Just recently, my mother and I were talking about books that I enjoyed as a child. When the topic of Christmas came up, I remembered how much I loved the book, The Sweet Smell of Christmas. I rushed around to find it, when I discovered the shape of my book. The pages are falling out and I have search the internet to find a copy, only to discover that The Sweet Smell of Christmas is no longer published. Please publish this childhood favorite again. |

I was so sad to find that The Sweet Smell of Christmas was not being printed for future generations of children to enjoy!! I too have my own tattered and loved copy, but wanted to get a fresh copy for my daughter who now loves the story and most importantly a childhood friend, who I just learned last Christmas when he was visiting us, that it too was he and his brother's favorite Christmas memory!! I wanted to surprise him with a new copy to share with his son and daughter. Please make more Hardcover copies for future families to enjoy as much as we do!!! I would love to give this as an annual Christmas gift to those I visit during the holidays! |
