This book has been a part of many families' Christmas tradition. Although it was once out of print, The Sweet Smell of Christmas is back again to meet the request of readers. This book is the favorite of many parents when they were little kids. And many families take it as a treasure and keep it generation by generation. You could smell the pine as we opened the Christmas boxes from the attic. It's a terrific book depicting a little bear experiencing Christmas through his nose! You can smell the gingerbread as his mom bakes them, the pine of the tree while it's being cut, and the zest of the orange left in his stocking! The lovely bear gets so excited about Christmas, it is sure to spark excitement in any child, while engaging their sense of smell. It is a really classic and brings so many kids' sweet memories.

J. P. Miller is the author of several historically based television dramas including a dramatization of the Lindbergh kidnapping case. He is perhaps best known for his adaptation of the book based on the life and crimes of Charles Manson, Helter Skelter, which won the Edgar Allen Poe Award in 1976. He won an Emmy in 1969 for The People Next Door, and a special award from the Mystery Writers of America for Your Money or Your Wife in 1974. The movie, The Days of Wine and Roses, starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick was nominated for an Oscar in 1962. Miller first began to write for television in the medium's infant stages, regularly supplying scripts for television plays. Many of Miller's characters are drawn from his personal experiences which include a stint as a professional boxer under the name "Tex Frontier," a foreign news correspondent in Mexico, an instructor of creative writing, and even a refrigerator salesman. Prior to settling down in the Bucks County region, Miller had a distinguished Navy career as a lieutenant serving in the South Pacific during WWII, where he earned the Presidential Unit Citation, Purple Heart and Bronze Star. At the time of his death, Miller was at work on an autobiography at his home in Stockton, New Jersey, where he lived since 1965.

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! |
