Emmanuelle Figueras Press Reviews
Anything is possible when you follow your nose! - Youth Group Library Review
I loved the clear uncluttered page layouts and clever use of flaps to x-ray in on an animal's inner-workings. The large-scale illustrations sing from the pages and will entice and intrigue readers. Truly unique! - Library Girl and Book Boy
An informative book but fun too. - Red Reading Hub
Superbly written facts produced in a way that doesn't patronise curious kids, and filled with gorgeous illustrations. A brilliant non-fiction title that's right on the nose. - Read It, Daddy!
With wonderful illustrations and lift the flaps to find more information, this book is fun and interesting. - My Shelves are Full
A fascinating insight into the noses of wild animals and the extent to which their sense of smell operates. There are plenty of strange-but-true facts that will appeal to young readers. - Armadillo
Wonderfully entertaining and informative...An ingenious, interactive way of learning that is not to be sniffed at. - Lancashire Evening Post
Brilliant, just brilliant Claire de Gastold's illustrations are beautiful, clear and informative. - Just Imagine
Many lift-flaps offer titbits of astonishing facts in a truly marvellous book with outstanding illustrations by Claire de Gastold. - Irish Examiner
This large format information book is the second of a series published by What on Earth Books which this time explores the variety of ways animals use their sense of smell. Divided into chapters each of which explores a different use of smell including bonding with parents, finding food, attracting a mate and avoiding danger. With full-colour illustrations throughout, on some pages also there are flaps which reveal more detailed information. Although the pages are not overloaded with facts, the author has not dumbed down the information and uses enough scientific terminology to satisfy older readers, often referring to current scientific research. While sharing fascinating facts about the animal kingdom and answering such questions as why female mosquitoes are so attracted to our skin, this engaging book is also likely to stimulate many readers' natural curiosity to find out more. - The School Librarian (SLA)
