Review: Nice light smell - Bought this book for my daughter's book collection. She is only 5 months old, but this was the best price, so I bought the scented edition. It came exactly as I anticipated, with a light, sweet peach smell. I saw other reviews complaining that the smell was not strong enough, but I assumed it would be on the cover only and light. I was correct in this assumption. Very happy with this book, would be fun for a young reader or an older reader revisiting an old favorite. Review: Classic - Got this to read to my kids, 6,8,10 and they all loved it. Got the box set next and they have all continue to read them. Great way to introduce this author to kids.
