They are illustrated by Sue Sansom.<\/p>\n<p>The fragrances in the book are guaranteed to last the same length as the book&#8217;s natural lifespan and each story comes with a set of 16 &#8216;smell and tell&#8217; stickers.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently three books in the series with a fourth one out in May this year.<\/p>\n<p>All books are priced at \u00a35.99 and are available from Children\u2019s book sellers including the Early Learning Centre, TRU and Waterstones.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \t\t@page { margin: 2cm } \t\tP { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } \t\tA:link { so-language: zxx } -->For more information, visit: www.thesmellybookcompany.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday 4 March 2010 is world book day and a new book out this week in the Early Learning Centre<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bristol-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
