Follow your nose! This book invites you to learn what your sense of smell can teach you as you amble around town. Go along as a little boy listens to his dad's tale about taking in the deliciousness of a pastry shop, the woodsy smells of a lumberyard, the nose-wrinkling stink of trash, the sweet scents of flower and fruit markets, and the freshness of spring on the way. You'll agree when he says, "Everywhere I go, there is a new smell to know." Then you can go exploring with your own nose!

Fragrant as a Flower is part of a set about the senses in the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K-3 while encouraging them to become avid readers. The series explores the marvels of the senses of smell, sight, hearing, and related phenomena. The books don't explain how the senses work; instead, they sharpen readers' awareness of how to use their senses to develop their powers of observation. Included in each volume is a Parent/Teacher Handbook with coordinating activities. The I Wonder Why series is written by an award-winning science educator and published by NSTA Kids, a division of NSTA Press.
