You Smell! is a hilarious, surprising and scientific look at your
sense of smell. A great read for kids aged 7 to 11.
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 developing the stinkiest stink bomb.
You'll get up close and personal with the world's biggest stinkers, from
peeing pandas to toxic-breathed kings. You'll learn how smells have
helped to build empires and bring down entire cities, and how
super-stinky inventions are still changing our world.
-A surprising, scientific and very silly look at your smelliest sense,
packed with pungent facts!
- Find out about flowers that smell like rotting flesh, meet
professional armpit sniffers, and discover how space smells (like rotten
eggs and almonds)!
