Like a fresh onion, Oscar and the Awful, Horrible Smell will bring tears to your eyes as you laugh your way through Oscar’s show and smell adventure.
Everyone knows that trolls have a very sensitive sense of smell. So, when Oscar smells something new in his forest, something stinky and terrible and strange, he has to investigate. From stinky mushrooms to rotten eggs, from dead fish to sticky green sludge, join Oscar as he hunts for the source of the awful, horrible, rotten, putrid, terrible, nasty, stinky smell.
About the Author
Nestled in the magical woods of Finland, on the edge of a large clear lake, a grandmother rocked back and forth in her antique rocking chair surrounded by her five clever grandchildren and told them stories about the fantastical trolls that lived nearby. Now, nine grandkids and five great-grandbabies later, her words have finally come back to life on the pages of her fun-filled tales of adventure, friendship, and just a touch of the magic that rests in the hearts of all children, young and old.

The silliness is skillfully crafted … The text-enhancing quality of Kose’s whimsical, full-page watercolor illustrations gives the book an edge over similar titles.
