Go along as a little boy listens to his dad’s tale about taking in the deliciousness of a pastry shop, the woodsy smells of a lumberyard, the nose-wrinkling stink of trash, the sweet scents of flower and fruit markets, and the freshness of spring on the way. You’ll agree when he says, “Everywhere I go, there is a new smell to know.” Then you can go exploring with your own nose!
