Amber C. Jones has written a children’s book that incorporates some of New York City’s iconic smells into its pages. The scratch-n-sniff book includes lovely NYC scents like red apple, strawberry, garbage, pizza, hot dogs, sewer steam, fish, churros, peanuts, horse manure, shish-kabobs, smoke, bagels, grass, piragua ice Cone, pickles, pastrami, and much more.
She has successfully funded the book on Kickstarter so be prepared to have the children’s book section at your local book store stink up with both good and bad smells very soon!
You can get a preview of some of the pages in the book here. But unfortunately, there’s no scratch-n-sniff technology on the internet.

Both my kids got very sick and infected from a Christmas story book that had smells in it. I like the idea of this book but I wanted to share a bad experience about books that have scratch and sniff chemicals that can be used to make things smell. The doctor told me about there are many people that get sick and are allergic to chemicals used to make a lot of different fragrances. Evidently there is a right way and a wring way to make these things and I got the wrong way. Scratch and sniff is not perfume but many people are allergic to perfume also and they can be made with fragrances that might smell good be bad for you. I don’t know anything about this book at all but hopefully but wanted people to know what happened.
