As a kid, this book was my absolute favorite and I read and re-read it year after year until the scratch n’ sniffs were all out of smell. This book embodies all of the wonder of the Holiday Season, as seen through the eyes of a child. What could be more wonderful than the smell of apple pie baking on Christmas Eve or of the juicy orange nestled in the top of your stocking? When this fabulous book was reissued last year, I immediately bought a copy, so that I could share it with my son, who was a little over two at the time. Reading this book brought back all of the great memories of my own childhood Christmases and my son was delighted, as well. This is truly a classic to be handed down from generation to generation.

Sweet Book
My children who are now in their 30’s had this book. It is a cherished memory. I was so glad to find it to purchase for my 3 year old granddaughter so she can enjoy it also.

This was my all time favorite Christmas book as a youngster. I can vividly recount the smell of little bears hot chocolat and candy cane and the Christmas Tree. The wonderful sense of anticipation that any child will share as little bear waits for Christmas morning. If only this book were in print I would definitely buy a copy for all of my children and neices and nephews to treasure as a family heirloom. My childhood copy has since been lost and I would dearly love to share this story with my children. Golden Books - Please send this wonderful story to print again.

I remember reading this book to my baby sister when she was young; ( she turns 30 this year). About at this time the scratch & sniff stickers where all the rage as well as those smelly food markers! Any way…. I am very pleased that the book has been brought back in print and I love the story. The peppermint, hot coco and orange smell so good. My only complaint is when they redid this classic why they didn’t make the scratch and sniff areas larger! They are the original size that they where back when ( the size of a quarter ) and I remember we scratched the sniff right off our book. In todays world where DK publishing in my opinion RULES the Scratch & Sniff books… like Food and the Garden book, why they didn’t take the time to make the scratch and sniff areas BIGGER! They have the technology and I am sure none of us who originally owned the books would have complained because they made the smelly areas bigger! That is the only reason that I gave this book a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star. I have a fondness for Patricia Scary and her husband Richard… just make the scratch and sniff areas bigger! It’s a cute story about baby bear and his mama and Papa Bear, I just love Papa bear’s hat on Christmas morning!

Best Christmas Scratch-n-Sniff book EVER!
This book was one of my son’s favorites and we read it repeatedly all year round. He’s just become a father for the 1st time so I’ve got to get this book for my grandson.

Great for a Sniff & Smell
I purchased 3 Sniff & Smell books for Christmas time and found this one to be the best. Although the story is a bit wordy for my toddlers (I paraphrase when I read it to them) The…

Smell does not last…
It’s a cute story. Not a classic by any means, but it is cute.
The stickers do not last. The only sticker that still smells is the Christmas tree.
