* Lancashire Evening Post *
A fascinating insight into the noses of wild animals and the extent to which their sense of smell operates. There are plenty of strange-but-true facts that will appeal to young readers.
* Armadillo Magazine *
In this fascinating book the reader is invited to 'take a fresh sniff at the world from an animal's perspective' and explore the different roles that a sense of smell plays in shaping animal behaviour and relationships ... Supported by full-colour illustrations, the reader's interest is further sustained through the use of flaps which when lifted often reveal surprising facts.

The 'lift the flaps' were great fun, but also very informative ... The illustrations are also wonderful and, in fact, make this book something of a showpiece. The drawings are fun, yet accurate and life-like, adding to the educational value of the book.
